< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.
2 Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.
Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'
3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
6 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
7 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.
8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help 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 been mindful of us, He will bless — 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 them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
Blessed be ye of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons 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 Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;
18 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.
