Psalm 115

115 Not for us, O thou Eternal, not for us,

but for thyself, win praise,

to prove that thou thyself art kind and true.

2 Why should pagans sneer,

“Where is that God of theirs?”

3 Ah, he is in heaven, our God,

he does whate’er he pleases.

4 Their idols are mere gold and silver,

made by the hands of men,

5 with mouths – but they never speak,

with eyes – but they cannot see,

6 with ears – but they cannot hear,

with noses – but they cannot smell,

7 with hands – but they cannot feel,

with feet – but they cannot walk!

8 No sound from them!

No breath of life is in them!

So be it with their makers,

with all who trust in them!

9 But Israel trusts in the Eternal;

he is their shield and succour.

10 Aaron’s household trusts in the Eternal;

he is their shield and succour.

11 The Eternal’s worshippers trust in the Eternal;

he is their shield and succour.

12 The Eternal remembers us, and he will bless us,

he will bless Israel and Aaron’s household,

13 he will bless his worshippers,

both high and low alike.

14 The Eternal will make you increase,

will multiply you and your children.

15 Your blessing comes from the Eternal,

who made heaven and earth,

16 the heaven that the Eternal holds himself,

the earth he has assigned to men.

17 The dead cannot praise the Eternal,

nor any who sink to the silent land;

but we bless the Eternal now and evermore.
