Psalms 115

1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;

2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

3 But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:

6 They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;

7 They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.

8 They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

11 Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless [us]: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.

He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

14 Jehovah increase you more and more, You and your children.

The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.

15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

17 The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

18 But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.

But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
