Psalms 115

1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

2 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'

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

3 But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.

Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;

they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;

7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.

they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.

8 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.

Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!

O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!

O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

12 The LORD hath been mindful of us, He will bless — He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;

13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.

14 The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.

15 Blessed be ye of the LORD who made heaven and earth.

May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath He given to the children of men.

The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.

17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;

It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.

18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.

But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
