< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
10 The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
12 The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has 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 shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. (questioned)
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
