< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, YHWH, not to us, but to your name be the glory, for your loving kindness and for your faithfulness.
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7 They have hands, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 Israel, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear YHWH, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12 YHWH remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He will bless those who fear YHWH, both small and great.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 May YHWH increase you more and more, you and your children.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Blessed are you by YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of YHWH; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead do not praise JAH, neither any who go down into silence;
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 But we will bless JAH, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise JAH.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
