Psalms 115 Comparison: New Heart English Bible vs King James Version
Psalms 115
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 do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
6They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.
7They have hands, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not 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 heavens of the Lord; but the earth has he given to the children of men.
17The dead do not praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;
18But we will bless Yah, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord!
Psalms 115
1Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
11Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
12The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
16The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
18But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.
