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, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ 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.
Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell.
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 cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk: no sound comes from their throats.
8 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
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 who 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, mindful of us, 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 those who fear the Lord, the small and the great together.
14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.
15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
Blessed be you of the Lord, creator of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth has he given to people.
17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who 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 now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
