Psalms 115

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.	1 Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name give glory because of your faithfulness and love.
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?	2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?"
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.	3 Our God is in heaven; whatever God wills is done.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.	4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:	5 They have mouths but do not speak, eyes but do not see.
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:	6 They have ears but do not hear, noses but do not smell.
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.	7 They have hands but do not feel, feet but do not walk, and no sound rises from their throats.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.	8 Their makers shall be like them, all who trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.	9 The house of Israel trusts in the LORD, who is their help and shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.	10 The house of Aaron trusts in the LORD, who is their help and shield.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.	11 Those who fear the LORD trust in the LORD, who is their help and 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.	12 The LORD remembers us and will bless us, will bless the house of Israel, will bless the house of Aaron,
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.	13 Will bless those who fear the LORD, small and great alike.
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.	14 May the LORD increase your number, you and your descendants.
15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.	15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who 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.	16 The heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth is given to us.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.	17 The dead do not praise the LORD, all those gone down into silence.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.	18 It is we who bless the LORD, both now and forever. Hallelujah!
