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 unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

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

Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?

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

When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

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

Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —

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

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

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

Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they 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.

Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.

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

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.

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

O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

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

O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

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

Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

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

Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—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 them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

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

Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

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

Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:

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

As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.

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

The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;

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

But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
