< Psalms 115 >
1 Not unto us, O LORD! not unto us, But unto thy name, give glory, For thy mercy and thy truth's sake!
Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is now their God?”
Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
3 Our God is in the heavens; He doeth whatever he pleaseth.
When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands:
Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —
5 They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
6 They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;
Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not; They have feet, but they walk not; Nor do they speak with their throats.
Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.
8 They who make them are like unto them; And so is every one that trusteth in them.
Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
9 O Israel! trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
10 O house of Aaron! trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
11 Ye that fear the LORD trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us; he will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
14 The LORD will increase you more and more, You and your children.
Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
15 Blessed are ye of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:
16 The heaven is the LORD'S heaven; But the earth he hath given to the sons of men.
As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, —No one who goeth down into silence.
The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;
18 But we will bless the LORD, From this time forth even for ever! Praise ye the LORD!
But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
