Psalms 115 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, DBY, DRA)

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

1Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

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

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

2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is theirGod?

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

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

3 But ourGod is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.

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

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

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

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

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

5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

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

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

6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;

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

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

7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.

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

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

8 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.

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

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

9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

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

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

10 House of Aaron, confide 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.

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

11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
