Psalms 115

1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.

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?”

Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?

3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.

When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

4 The nations' 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 Those idols 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 Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.

Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.

8 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.

9 Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.

O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.

O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

11 You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.

Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

12 Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family 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 honor him, both young and old.

He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

14 May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.

Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:

16 The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.

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 Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;

The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;

18 But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.

But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
