Psalms 115

1 Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.

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

2 Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”

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

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

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

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

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

5 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,

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

6 They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,

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

7 Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;

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

8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.

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

9 O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”

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

10 O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”

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

11 You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”

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

12 YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,

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

13 He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.

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

14 YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.

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

15 Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

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

16 The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;

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

17 The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.

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

18 And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!

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