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