Psalms 115

1 Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.

2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?

Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?

3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.

But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.

Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;

6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.

They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;

7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.

They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.

8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.

You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

12 The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.

The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.

13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.

He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.

May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.

15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.

May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.

The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.

17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.

The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.

18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.

But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.
