Psalms 115

1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

Not unto us, O LORD! not unto us, But unto thy name, give glory, For thy mercy and thy truth's sake!

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

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

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

Our God is in the heavens; He doeth whatever he pleaseth.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands:

5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

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

6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;

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

7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.

They have hands, but they handle not; They have feet, but they walk not; Nor do they speak with their throats.

8 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.

They who make them are like unto them; And so is every one that trusteth in them.

9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

O Israel! trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron! trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

Ye that fear the LORD trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

The LORD hath been mindful of us; he will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

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

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.

The LORD will increase you more and more, You and your children.

15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

Blessed are ye of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The heaven is the LORD'S heaven; But the earth he hath given to the sons of men.

17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;

The dead praise not the LORD, —No one who goeth down into silence.

18 But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!

But we will bless the LORD, From this time forth even for ever! Praise ye the LORD!
