Psalms 115

¹ Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give the glory, for your faithful love and yourconstancy!

² Why should the nations ask, 'Where is their God?'

³ Our God is in heaven, he creates whatever he chooses.

⁴ They have idols of silver and gold, made by human hands.

⁵ These have mouths but say nothing, have eyes but see nothing,

⁶ have ears but hear nothing, have noses but smel nothing.

⁷ They have hands but cannot feel, have feet but cannot walk, no sound comes from their throats.

⁸ Their makers wil end up like them, and al who rely on them.

⁹ House of Israel, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰ House of Aaron, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.

¹¹ You who fear Yahweh, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.

¹² Yahweh wil keep us in mind, he will bless, he wil bless the House of Israel, he wil bless the Houseof Aaron,

¹³ he wil bless those who fear Yahweh, small and great alike.

¹⁴ May Yahweh add to your numbers, yours and your children's too!

¹⁵ May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶ Heaven belongs to Yahweh, but earth he has given to the children of Adam.

¹⁷ The dead cannot praise Yahweh, those who sink into silence,

¹⁸ but we, the living, shal bless Yahweh, henceforth and for ever.
