Psalms 115

1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

2 Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.

3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased.

And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,

5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

8 They that make them are like them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

12 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.

Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

15 Ye are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.

Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
