1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 Because God is truly glorious, 4 and idols are vanity, 9 he exhorteth to confidence in God. 12 God is to be praised for his blessings.

115:1 ¶ Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

115:2 Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.

115:3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,

115:5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

115:6 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

115:7 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

115:8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

115:9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

115:11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'

115:12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

115:13 He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

115:14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

115:15 Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

115:16 The heavens—the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

115:17 The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

115:18 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
