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 loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

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 don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;

They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t 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 they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

8 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

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 remembers 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 those who fear the LORD, both small and great.

14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.

May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

Blessed are you by the LORD, who made 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 LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;

The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any 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 this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
