< 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 YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “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 YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “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;
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens 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—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
