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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but 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 can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

May you be blessed 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 heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.

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

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

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

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