< 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 YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “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 YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “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;
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
