Psalm 115 (WEBP)

[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!

Young’s Literal Translation

Psalm 115 (YLT)

[1] Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
[2] Why do the nations say, ‘Where, pray, is their God.
[3] And our God is in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
[4] Their idols are silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
[5] A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
[6] Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
[7] Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
[8] Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
[9] O Israel, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield is He.’
[10] O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield is He.’
[11] Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield is He.’
[12] Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
[13] He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
[14] Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
[15] Blessed are ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
[16] The heavens-the heavens are Jehovah’s, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
[17] The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
[18] And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
