< Psalms 115 >
1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatever he has pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
They that make them are like to them; so is every one that trusts in them.
9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
You are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth has he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever more. Praise the LORD.
