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, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but 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.
Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and 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.
Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
May you be blessed by Yahweh, 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 Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
