| Chapter 115 |
1 |
Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, But to your name give glory, For your lovingkindness, and for your truth's sake. --
|
2 |
Why should the nations say, 'Where is their God, now?' --
|
3 |
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases. --
|
4 |
Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands. --
|
5 |
They have mouths, but they don't speak; They have eyes, but they don't see; --
|
6 |
They have ears, but they don't hear; They have noses, but they don't smell; --
|
7 |
They have hands, but they don't feel; They have feet, but they don't walk; Neither do they speak through their throat. --
|
8 |
Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them. --
|
9 |
Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. --
|
10 |
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. --
|
11 |
You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. --
|
12 |
Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. --
|
13 |
He will bless those who fear Yahweh, Both small and great. --
|
14 |
May Yahweh increase you more and more, You and your children. --
|
15 |
Blessed are you by Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth. --
|
16 |
The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; But the earth has he given to the children of men. --
|
17 |
The dead don't praise Yah, Neither any who go down into silence; --
|
18 |
But we will bless Yah, From this time forth and forevermore. Praise Yah! Psalm 116 --
