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 give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
3 When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.
But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
4 Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
5 A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
6 Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:
they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t 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 they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
8 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
9 O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
10 O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
11 Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
12 Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;
The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14 Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
15 Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:
Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
16 As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.
The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
17 The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;
The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
18 But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
