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, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

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

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

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

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

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 don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

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

They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

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

They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

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

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

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

Israel, trust in Yahweh! 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 Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

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

You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! 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,

Yahweh remembers 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 those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

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

May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.

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

Blessed are you by Yahweh, 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 Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

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

The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who 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 forward and forever more. Praise Yah!
