Psalms 115

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

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

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

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

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

Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.

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

Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

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

They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

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

they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;

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

they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.

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

Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

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

O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

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

O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

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

You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

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

The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;

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

He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.

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

May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.

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

May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

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

The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.

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

It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.

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

But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
