< 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 YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
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.
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
