< 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 YHWH, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their Elohim?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
But our Elohim is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath 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 mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but 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, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they 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; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 Israel, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust thou in YHWH: he is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH: 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 YHWH, trust in YHWH: 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.
YHWH hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; 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 YHWH, both small and great.
14 May YHWH increase you more and more, you and your children.
YHWH shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessed are you by YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
Ye are blessed of YHWH which made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of YHWH; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.
The heaven, even the heavens, are YHWH 's: 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 YHWH, 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 YAH from this time forth and for evermore. Praise YHWH.
