< 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 YHWH, 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 heathen say, Where is now their Elohim?
3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
But our Elohim is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
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 through 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 are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
O Israel, trust thou in YHWH: 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 in YHWH: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
Ye that fear YHWH, trust in YHWH: 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,
YHWH hath been 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 them that fear YHWH, both small and great.
14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
YHWH shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
Ye are blessed of YHWH which made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
The heaven, even the heavens, are YHWH 's: 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 YHWH, 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 YAH from this time forth and for evermore. Praise YHWH.
