< 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 to us, O YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’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 do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 They have hands, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 Israel, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust 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.
You fearing 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 has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 He will bless those who fear YHWH, both small and great.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 May YHWH increase you more and more, you and your children.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 Blessed are you by YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 The heavens are the heavens of YHWH; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.
The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 The dead do not praise JAH, neither any who go down into silence;
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But we will bless JAH, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise JAH.
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
