< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
6 They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.
Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
9 Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
12 The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
14 May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
15 Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:
16 The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.
17 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence,
The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;
18 but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
