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.

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

Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles 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 is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.

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

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

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

They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.

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

They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.

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

They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.

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

Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.

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

The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.

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

The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.

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

Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.

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

The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has 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 all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.

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

May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.

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

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

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

The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.

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

The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell. (questioned)

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

But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
