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!

Psalm 115 (KJVS)

[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] Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
[3] But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
[4] Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
[5] They have mouths, but they speak not: Eyes have they, but they see not:
[6] They have ears, but they hear not: Noses have they, but they smell not:
[7] They have hands, but they handle not: Feet have they, but they walk not: Neither speak they through their throat.
[8] They that make them are like unto them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
[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 their shield.
[11] Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: He is their help and their shield.
[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 them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
[14] The Lord shall increase you more and more, You and your children.
[15] Ye are blessed of the Lord Which made heaven and earth.
[16] The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: But the earth hath he given to the children of men.
[17] The dead praise not the Lord, Neither any that go down into silence.
[18] But we will bless the Lord From this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.
