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 unto us, O LORD! not unto us, But unto thy name, give glory, For thy mercy and 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.
Our God is in the heavens; He doeth whatever he pleaseth.
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; Eyes have they, 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; Noses have they, 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 with their throats.
8 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
They who make them are like unto them; And so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
O Israel! trust thou in the LORD! 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 the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
11 You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
Ye that fear the LORD trust in the LORD! 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.
The LORD hath been mindful of us; he will bless us; 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 them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
The LORD will increase you more and more, You and your children.
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
The heaven is the LORD'S heaven; But the earth he hath given to the sons of men.
17 The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
The dead praise not the LORD, —No one who goeth down into silence.
18 But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
But we will bless the LORD, From this time forth even for ever! Praise ye the LORD!
