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, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.

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

Why should the heathen say, ‘Where is now their God?’

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

Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.

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

Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.

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: no sound comes from their throats.

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

Their makers become like them, so 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 their shield.

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

House of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their 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 their shield.

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

The Lord, mindful of us, 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, the small and the great together.

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

May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.

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

Blessed be you of the Lord, creator of 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 has he given to people.

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

The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who 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 now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
