< 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 unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their 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.
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, 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 them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Blessed be ye of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath He given to the children of men.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
