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 give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.

2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

Why should the heathen say, ‘Where is now their God?’

3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.

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

Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.

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 through their throat.

They have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk: no sound comes from their throats.

8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Their makers become like them, so 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 their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust 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 us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

The Lord, mindful of us, 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, the small and the great together.

14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.

15 Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.

Blessed be you of the Lord, creator of heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: 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 people.

17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.

The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.

But we will bless the Lord from now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
