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 LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

2 Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

3 When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.

4 Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —

Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

5 A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

6 Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:

they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;

7 Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.

they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.

8 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.

Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

9 O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

10 O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

11 Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

12 Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;

The LORD is 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 them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.

14 Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.

15 Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:

May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of 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 highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.

17 The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;

It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.

18 But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.

But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
