< 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 YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “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 in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “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.
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
