Psalms 115
1 Yahweh, people should praise [only] you [MTY]; they must praise you, not us, because you faithfully love us and always do what you have promised to do.
Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
2 It is not right that [RHQ] [other] people-groups should say about us, “[They claim that] their God [is very powerful], but [if that is true], why does he not [help them]?”
Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants to!
But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
4 [But] their idols are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
5 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything]; they have noses, but they cannot smell [anything].
They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
7 They have hands, but they cannot feel [anything]; they have feet, but they cannot walk, and they have throats but cannot [even] make any sounds!
They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
8 The people who make those idols are [as powerless] as those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish nothing], just like their idols!
They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
9 You, [my fellow] Israeli people, trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
10 You priests [MTY], trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
11 [All] you who revere Yahweh, trust in him! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
12 Yahweh has not forgotten us; he will bless us Israeli people [MTY]! He will bless the priests,
The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.
13 and he will bless [all] those who revere him; he will bless important [people] and people [who are considered to be] unimportant, [everyone!]
He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
14 I desire that Yahweh will give many children to you [my fellow-Israeli people], and to your descendants.
The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
15 I desire that Yahweh, the one who made heaven and the earth, will bless [all of] you!
Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
16 The [highest] heavens belong to Yahweh, but he gave [everything that is on] the earth to [us] people.
The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
17 Dead [people] are not [able to] praise Yahweh; when they descend into the place where dead people are, they are unable to speak and cannot praise him.
The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
18 But we [who are alive] will thank/praise him, now and forever. Praise Yahweh!
But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
