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, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

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

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

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

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

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 don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

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

They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’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 don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither 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 will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

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

Israel, trust 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!

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!

You who 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 remembers 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, both small and great.

14 Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

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

Blessed are you by the LORD, 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 LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

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

The dead don’t praise the LORD, 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 the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
