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.
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
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 the hands of men.
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not 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, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Let those who make them become like them, along with 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 has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
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 been mindful of us, and he has 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 all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.
14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell. (questioned)
18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
