< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us O Yahweh not to us for to name your ascribe glory on covenant loyalty your on faithfulness your.
Not to us, Adonai, not to us, but to your name give kavod ·weighty glory·, for your chesed ·loving-kindness·, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Why? will they say the nations where? please [is] God their.
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
3 And God our [is] in the heavens all that he desires he does.
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Idols their [are] silver and gold [the] work of [the] hands of humankind.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 A mouth [belongs] to them and not they speak eyes [belong] to them and not they see.
They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6 Ears [belong] to them and not they hear a nose [belongs] to them and not they smell!
They have ears, but they don’t sh'ma ·hear obey·. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
7 Hands their - and not they feel! feet their and not they walk not they make a sound with throat their.
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 them they will be [those who] make them every [one] who [is] trusting in them.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel trust in Yahweh [is] help their and shield their he.
Israel [God prevails], trust in Adonai! He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron trust in Yahweh [is] help their and shield their he.
House of Aaron [Light-bringer], trust in Adonai! He is their help and their shield.
11 O [those] fearing Yahweh trust in Yahweh [is] help their and shield their he.
You who fear Adonai, trust in Adonai! He is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh he has remembered us he will bless he will bless [the] house of Israel he will bless [the] house of Aaron.
Adonai remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel [God prevails]. He will bless the house of Aaron [Light-bringer].
13 He will bless [those] fearing Yahweh small with great.
He will bless those who fear Adonai, both small and great.
14 May he add Yahweh to you to you and to children your.
May Adonai increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 [be] blessed You by Yahweh [the] maker of heaven and earth.
Blessed are you by Adonai, who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens [are] heavens of Yahweh and the earth he has given to [the] children of humankind.
The heavens are the heavens of Adonai; but the earth has he given to the children of men.
17 Not the dead they will praise Yahweh and not all [those who] go down of silence.
The dead don’t Halleluyah ·praise Yah·, neither any who go down into silence;
18 And we - we will bless Yahweh from now and until perpetuity praise Yahweh.
But we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
