Chapter 115

¹Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,

But to your name give glory,

For your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

²Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God, now?”

³But our God is in the heavens.

He does whatever he pleases.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they don’t speak;

They have eyes, but they don’t see;

⁶They have ears, but they don’t hear;

They have noses, but they don’t smell;

⁷They have hands, but they don’t feel;

They have feet, but they don’t walk;

Neither do they speak through their throat.

⁸Those who make them will be like them;

Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

⁹Israel, trust in Yahweh!

He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh!

He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh!

He is their help and their shield.

¹²Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us.

He will bless the house of Israel.

He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless those who fear Yahweh,

Both small and great.

¹⁴May Yahweh increase you more and more,

You and your children.

¹⁵Blessed are you by Yahweh,

Who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh;

But the earth has he given to the children of men.

¹⁷The dead don’t praise Yah,

Neither any who go down into silence;

¹⁸But we will bless Yah,

From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise Yah!
