Psalms 115

1 Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to you all glory should be given, because of your trustworthy love and faithfulness.

Not unto us, O YHWH, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

2 Why should the heathen nations ask, “Where is your God?”

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their Elohim?

3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.

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

4 Their idols are just things of silver and gold made by human hands.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

5 They have mouths, but can't speak. They have eyes, but can't see.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6 They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but can't smell.

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7 They have hands, but can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8 Those who make idols become just like them, and so does everyone who trusts in them.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

9 Israel, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.

O Israel, trust thou in YHWH: he is their help and their shield.

10 Descendants of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.

O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH: he is their help and their shield.

11 Those who honor the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.

Ye that fear YHWH, trust in YHWH: he is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord keeps us in mind and will be good to us. He will bless Israel, he will bless the descendants of Aaron.

YHWH hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13 The Lord will bless all those who worship him, whoever they are.

He will bless them that fear YHWH, both small and great.

14 May the Lord be good to you, you and your children.

YHWH shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth.

Ye are blessed of YHWH which made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.

The heaven, even the heavens, are YHWH 's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord, those who have gone down into the silence of the grave.

The dead praise not YHWH, neither any that go down into silence.

18 But we the living will always praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

But we will bless YAH from this time forth and for evermore. Praise YHWH.
