Psalms 115

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;

Not for our sake, O Lord, not for our sake, but unto thy name give glory, for the sake of thy kindness, for the sake of thy truth.

2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

Wherefore should the nations say, Where now is their God?

3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.

Whereas our God is in the heavens: whatsoever he desireth hath he done.

4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

Their idols are sliver and gold, the work of the hands of man.

5 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:

A mouth they have, but speak not; eyes they have, but see not;

6 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;

Ears they have, but hear not; a nose they have, but smell not.

7 they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.

They have hands, but they touch not; they have feet, but they walk not: nor do they give any utterance by their throat.

8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.

9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

O Israel, trust thou in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.

10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.

11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

Ye that fear the Lord, trust ye in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

The Lord hath even been mindful of us, he will bless [us]; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

He will bless those that fear the Lord, the small together with the great.

14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.

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

15 Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

The heavens are the heavens of the Lord; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

Not the dead can praise the Lord, nor all those that go down into the silence [of death].

18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

But as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah.
