Psalmen 115

1. ¹Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, But to your name give glory, For your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake.
2. ²Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
3. ³But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4. ⁴Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
5. ⁵They have mouths, but they don't speak; They have eyes, but they don't see;
6. ⁶They have ears, but they don't hear; They have noses, but they don't smell;
7. ⁷They have hands, but they don't feel; They have feet, but they don't walk; Neither do they speak through their throat.
8. ⁸Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9. ⁹Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
10. ¹⁰House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
11. ¹¹You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
12. ¹²Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13. ¹³He will bless those who fear Yahweh, Both small and great.
14. ¹⁴May Yahweh increase you more and more, You and your children.
15. ¹⁵Blessed are you by Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.
16. ¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; But the earth has he given to the children of men.
17. ¹⁷The dead don't praise Yah, Neither any who go down into silence;
18. ¹⁸But we will bless Yah, From this time forth and forevermore. Praise Yah!
