Psalmen 115

1. ¹Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2. ²Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, `is' their God.
3. ³And our God `is' in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4. ⁴Their idols `are' silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5. ⁵A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6. ⁶Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7. ⁷Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8. ⁸Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9. ⁹O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.'
10. ¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.'
11. ¹¹Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.'
12. ¹²Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13. ¹³He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14. ¹⁴Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15. ¹⁵Blessed `are' ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16. ¹⁶The heavens -- the heavens `are' Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17. ¹⁷The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18. ¹⁸And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
