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 to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

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

Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.

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

And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

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

Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,

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

A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

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

Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

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

Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

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

Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

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

O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

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

O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

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

Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

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

Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

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

He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

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

Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

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

Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

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

The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons 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 Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

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

And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
