Psalms 115
1 Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
μὴ ἡμῖν κύριε μὴ ἡμῖν ἀλλ’ ἢ τῷ ὀνόματί σου δὸς δόξαν ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
μήποτε εἴπωσιν τὰ ἔθνη ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα ὅσα ἠθέλησεν ἐποίησεν
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων
5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
στόμα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται
6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
ὦτα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσονται ῥῖνας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται
7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
χεῖρας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσιν πόδας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς
9 Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
οἶκος Ισραηλ ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ κύριον βοηθὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν
10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
οἶκος Ααρων ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ κύριον βοηθὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ κύριον βοηθὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν
12 The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
κύριος ἐμνήσθη ἡμῶν καὶ εὐλόγησεν ἡμᾶς εὐλόγησεν τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ εὐλόγησεν τὸν οἶκον Ααρων
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
εὐλόγησεν τοὺς φοβουμένους τὸν κύριον τοὺς μικροὺς μετὰ τῶν μεγάλων
14 May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
προσθείη κύριος ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν
15 Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ ποιήσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν
16 The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ τὴν δὲ γῆν ἔδωκεν τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
17 The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence,
οὐχ οἱ νεκροὶ αἰνέσουσίν σε κύριε οὐδὲ πάντες οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς ᾅδου
18 but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
ἀλλ’ ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες εὐλογήσομεν τὸν κύριον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος
