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 thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;

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

lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

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

But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.

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

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

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

They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:

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

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

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

they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.

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

Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

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

The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

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

The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

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

They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

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

The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

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

He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

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

The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.

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

Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

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

The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

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

The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

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

But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
