Psalms 115
[1] Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
[2] Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God, now?”
[3] But our God is in the heavens.
He does whatever he pleases.
[4] Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands.
[5] They have mouths, but they don’t speak.
They have eyes, but they don’t see.
[6] They have ears, but they don’t hear.
They have noses, but they don’t smell.
[7] They have hands, but they don’t feel.
They have feet, but they don’t walk,
neither do they speak through their throat.
[8] Those who make them will be like them;
yes, everyone who trusts in them.
[9] Israel, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
[10] House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
[11] You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
[12] Yahweh remembers 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 Yahweh,
both small and great.
[14] May Yahweh increase you more and more,
you and your children.
[15] Blessed are you by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
[16] The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
but he has given the earth to the children of men.
[17] The dead don’t praise Yah,
nor any who go down into silence,
[18] but we will bless Yah,
from this time forward and forever more.
Praise Yah!
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
