< 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 unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth’s sake.
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
Wherefore should the heathen 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 hath done whatsoever he hath 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: eyes have they, 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: noses have they, 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: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: 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 in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.
11 Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: 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;
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.
13 He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.
14 Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:
Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which 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 heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
