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, LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, for your loving kindness and for your faithfulness.

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

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

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

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

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 mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.

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

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

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

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and 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 the LORD; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.

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

The dead do not praise the LORD, neither any who go down into silence;

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

But we will bless the LORD, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD.
