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 to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

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

Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.

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

And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

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

Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,

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

A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

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

Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and 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 handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

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

Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

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

O Israel, trust in Jehovah, '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 in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

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

Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, '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.

Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

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

He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

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

Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

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

Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of 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 — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

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

The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

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

And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
