Power is going to the solenoid but not the starter motor itself, or the starter motor would spin and you'd hear it trying to turn the flywheel (solenoid engaging the gear) or hear it whine with NO click (solenoid not engaging, gear free-spinning).

Check the bigass wires that flow from the battery to the relay and from the relay to the starter motor, and check the ground wire. In addition, check the relay and ignition switch.
