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