Psalms 115
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
4 The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
7 Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.
8 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
11 You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
Jehovah has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
14 May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17 The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
18 But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
