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, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.
2 Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
Why should the heathen say, “Where is now their God?”
3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
5 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell.
7 Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
They have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk: no sound comes from their throats.
8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
O Israel, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
House of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
11 You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord he is their help and their shield.
12 YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
The Lord, mindful of us, will bless us: he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small and the great together.
14 YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.
15 Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
Blessed be you of the Lord, creator of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth has he given to people.
17 The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who go down into silence.
18 And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
But we will bless the Lord from now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
