Psalms 115:1–18

¹To us belongs nothing, O Jehovah, to us belongs nothing,
But to your name give glory
According to your loving‐kindness, according to your trueness.

²Why should the nations say:
“Where, now, is their God?”

³But our God is in the heavens;
Everything that he delighted [to do] he has done.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of the hands of earthling man.

⁵A mouth they have, but they cannot speak;
Eyes they have, but they cannot see;
⁶Ears they have, but they cannot hear.
A nose they have, but they cannot smell.

⁷Hands are theirs, but they cannot feel.
Feet are theirs, but they cannot walk;
They utter no sound with their throat.

⁸Those making them will become just like them,
All those who are trusting in them.

⁹O Israel, trust in Jehovah;
He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, put ​YOUR​ trust in Jehovah;
He is their help and their shield.

¹¹YOU​ that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah;
He is their help and their shield.

¹²Jehovah himself has remembered us; he will bless,
He will bless the house of Israel,
He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless those fearing Jehovah,
The small ones as well as the great ones.

¹⁴Jehovah will give increase to ​YOU,
To ​YOU​ and to ​YOUR​ sons.

¹⁵YOU​ are the ones blessed by Jehovah,
The Maker of heaven and earth.

¹⁶As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong,
But the earth he has given to the sons of men.

¹⁷The dead themselves do not praise Jah,
Nor do any going down into silence.

¹⁸But we ourselves will bless Jah
From now on and to time indefinite.
Praise Jah, ​YOU​ people!
