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 for our sake, O Lord, not for our sake, but unto thy name give glory, for the sake of thy kindness, for the sake of thy truth.

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

Wherefore should the nations say, Where now is their God?

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

Whereas our God is in the heavens: whatsoever he desireth hath he done.

4 Their idols [are] silver and gold; the work of men's hands.

Their idols are sliver and gold, the work of the hands of man.

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

A mouth they have, but speak not; eyes they have, but see not;

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

Ears they have, but hear not; a nose they have, but smell not.

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

They have hands, but they touch not; they have feet, but they walk not: nor do they give any utterance by their throat.

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

Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.

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

O Israel, trust thou in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.

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

O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.

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

Ye that fear the Lord, trust ye in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.

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.

The Lord hath even 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 them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.

He will bless those that fear the Lord, the small together with the great.

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

May the Lord increase you more and more, you and your children.

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

Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made 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 are the heavens of the Lord; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

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

Not the dead can praise the Lord, nor all those that go down into the silence [of death].

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

But as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah.
