Psalms 115

1I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

1Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.

2I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

2Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

3What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me?

3But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

4I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.

5I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

5They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

6Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

6They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

7O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

7They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

8I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

8They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

9I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

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

10In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

10O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

11(not in this translation)

11Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

12(not in this translation)

12Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13(not in this translation)

13He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.

14(not in this translation)

14Jehovah increase you more and more, You and your children.

15(not in this translation)

15Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

16(not in this translation)

16The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17(not in this translation)

17The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

18(not in this translation)

18But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
