Psalms 115

1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

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

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

3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.

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

4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

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

5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;

6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.

7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

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

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

9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

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

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

12 The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;

12 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 those who fear the LORD—small and great alike.

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

14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.

14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.

17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!

18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
