Psalms

1Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

2Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.

3And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

4Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,

5A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

6Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

7Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

8Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

9O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

10O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

11Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

12Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

13He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

14Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

15Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

16The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

17The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

18And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!

1Not to us, LORD,not to us,but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

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

3But our God is in the heavens.He does whatever he pleases.

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

5They have mouths, but they don’t speak.They have eyes, but they don’t see.

6They have ears, but they don’t hear.They have noses, but they don’t smell.

7They have hands, but they don’t feel.They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

8Those who make them will be like them;yes, everyone who trusts in them.

9Israel, trust in the LORD!He is their help and their shield.

10House of Aaron, trust in the LORD!He is their help and their shield.

11You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!He is their help and their shield.

12The LORD remembers us. He will bless us.He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless those who fear the LORD,both small and great.

14May the LORD increase you more and more,you and your children.

15Blessed are you by the LORD,who made heaven and earth.

16The heavens are the LORD’s heavens,but he has given the earth to the children of men.

17The dead don’t praise the LORD,nor any who go down into silence,

18but we will bless the LORD,from this time forward and forever more.Praise the LORD!
