< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
2 Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.
Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
6 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
7 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.
13 He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
15 Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
16 The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
17 The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
18 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
