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 your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

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

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

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

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

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

Their 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.

They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

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

They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’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 don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

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

Those who make them will be like them; yes, 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 their help and their shield.

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

House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! 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 who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! 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.

The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

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

He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.

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

May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

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 heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

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

The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor 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 the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
