Psalms 115

1 Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;

2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?

lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.

But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.

4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:

6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.

they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;

7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.

they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.

8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.

They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

12 The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.

The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.

He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.

The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.

15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.

Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.

The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.

The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.

But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
