115 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਸਾਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਣੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ।
ਇੱਜ਼ਤ ਤਾਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਮਲਕੀਅਤ ਹੈ। ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਾਰਣ
ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਕਾਰਣ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਅਸੀਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦੇ ਸਾਂ।
2 ਕੌਮਾਂ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਕਿਉਂ ਹੋਣ ਕਿ ਸਾਡਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਹੈ।
3 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਸਵਰਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਉਹੀ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਪਸੰਦ ਹੈ।
4 ਪਰਾਈਆਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਦੇ ਦੇਵਤੇ ਸੋਨੇ ਚਾਂਦੀ ਨਾਲ ਬਣੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਬੁੱਤ ਹਨ।
ਉਹ ਇਨਸਾਨੀ ਹੱਥਾਂ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਬਣਾਏ ਗਏ ਹਨ।
5 ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਬੁੱਤਾਂ ਦੇ ਮੂੰਹ ਤਾਂ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਬੋਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੱਕਦੇ।
ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਤਾਂ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਦੇਖ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੱਕਦੀਆਂ।
6 ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਕੰਨ ਤਾਂ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਸੁਣ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੱਕਦੇ।
ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨੱਕ ਤਾਂ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਸੁੰਘ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੱਕਦੇ।
7 ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਹੱਥ ਤਾਂ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦੇ।
ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਤਾਂ ਤਾਂ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਚੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੱਕਦੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾ ਦੇ ਗਲੇ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਕੋਈ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਨਹੀਂ ਨਿਕਲ ਸੱਕਦੀ।
8 ਜਿਹੜੇ ਲੋਕ ਬਣਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਬੁੱਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਉਹ ਵੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋ ਜਾਣਗੇ।
9 ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਲੋਕੋ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉੱਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕਰੋ।
ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਹੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਢਾਲ ਹੈ।
10 ਹਾਰੂਨ ਦੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉੱਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕਰ।
ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਹੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਢਾਲ ਹੈ।
11 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਚੇਲਿਉ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉੱਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕਰੋ।
ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਹੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਢਾਲ ਹੈ।
12 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅਸਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਚੇਤੇ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।
ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅਸਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਸ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ।
ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਸ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ।
ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਹਾਰੂਨ ਦੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਸ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ।
13 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਚੇਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਛੋਟੇ ਅਤੇ ਵੱਡਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਸ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ।
14 ਮੈਨੂੰ ਆਸ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਹੋਰ ਵੱਧੇਰੇ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ।
15 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਸਵਰਗ ਅਤੇ ਧਰਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਬਣਾਇਆ
ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਜੀ ਆਇਆ ਆਖਦਾ ਹੈ।
16 ਸਵਰਗ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਹੈ।
ਪਰ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਧਰਤੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ।
17 ਮੁਰਦਾ ਲੋਕ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦੇ।
ਕਬਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਫ਼ਨ ਹੋਏ ਲੋਕ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦੇ।
18 ਪਰ ਹੁਣ ਅਸੀਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਸ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ।
ਅਤੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਹੋਰ ਵੱਧੇਰੇ ਅਸੀਸ ਦੇਵਾਂਗੇ।
ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰੋ!

上帝是独一真神(A)
115 耶和华啊，
不要将荣耀归于我们，
不要归于我们。
愿荣耀归于你的名，
因为你慈爱、信实！
2 为何让列国说
“他们的上帝在哪里”？
3 我们的上帝高居在天，
按自己的旨意行事。
4 他们的神像不过是人用金银造的。
5 它们有口不能言，有眼不能看，
6 有耳不能听，有鼻不能闻，
7 有手不能摸，有脚不能走，
有喉咙也不能发声。
8 那些制造它们、信靠它们的人也会和它们一样。
9 以色列人啊，要信靠耶和华！
祂是你们的帮助，
是你们的盾牌。
10 亚伦家啊，要信靠耶和华！
祂是你们的帮助，
是你们的盾牌。
11 敬畏耶和华的人啊，要信靠祂！
祂是你们的帮助，
是你们的盾牌。[a]
12 耶和华眷顾我们，赐福给我们。
祂要赐福给以色列人，
赐福给亚伦家。
13 耶和华要赐福给一切敬畏祂的人，
不分尊贵卑贱。
14 愿耶和华使你们和你们的后代人丁兴旺！
15 愿创造天地的耶和华赐福给你们！
16 高天属于耶和华，
但祂把大地赐给了世人。
17 死人不能歌颂耶和华，
下到坟墓的人不能赞美祂。
18 但我们要赞美耶和华，
从现在直到永远。
你们要赞美耶和华！

Psalm 115[a]
Hymn to the Lord, the One God
1 [b]Not to us,[c] O Lord, not to us,
but to your name give glory
because of your kindness and faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations ask,
“Where is their God?”[d]
3 Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever he pleases.[e]
4 Their idols are merely silver and gold,
the work of human hands.[f]
5 They have mouths but they cannot speak;
they have eyes but they cannot see.
6 They have ears but they cannot hear;
they have noses but they cannot smell.
7 They have hands but they cannot feel;
they have feet but they cannot walk;
their throats can emit no sound.
8 Those who make them end up like them,
as do all who place their trust in them.
9 [g]The house of Israel trusts in the Lord;
he is their help and their shield.
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord;
he is their help and their shield.
11 Those who fear the Lord trust in the Lord;
he is their help and their shield.
12 [h]The Lord will be mindful of us and bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,
the small no less than the great.[i]
14 [j]May the Lord cause you to increase,
both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 [k]The heavens belong to the Lord,
but he has given the earth to humanity.
17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
those who sink into silence.[l]
18 It is we who bless the Lord
from this time forward and forevermore.[m]
Alleluia.
Footnotes
- Psalm 115:1 This psalm was probably used in the course of a celebration of the covenant, with choir and soloists in turn voicing their confidence in the Lord. Ridiculing the jerry-built gods venerated by the pagans, the community professes its attachment to the one true God, from whom it hopes to receive prosperity. The formulas are brief and striking, with a captivating rhythm; the satire against idols has the flavor of a popular caricature. This simple prayer is at the service of a deep and demanding religious thought and turns into praise. After the Exile, such a clear credo was needed for the community of Jerusalem and for the communities of the dispersion who all coexisted with pagan civilizations that welcomed countless gods. Today, it is still necessary for us to depart from idols fashioned according to our tastes and desires and to turn to the one true God.
We can pray this psalm for the Church, the new Israel, who often experiences profound misfortunes and oppressions that seem to proclaim her inferiority and impotence before earthly powers and their satanic idol. We can beg Christ the Lord to intervene to restore the renown of the Church and especially his own in the world. - Psalm 115:1 A song in praise of the living God who is faithful to his people and in derision of the pagan idols who are lifeless.
- Psalm 115:1 Not to us: God alone is responsible for Israel’s covenant blessings. Name: see note on Ps 5:12. Kindness: see note on Ps 6:5.
- Psalm 115:2 Where is their God?: implying that God does not help his people (see Pss 42:4, 11; 79:10; Joel 2:17; Mic 7:10).
- Psalm 115:3 The community expresses the belief that God is supreme and present; everything that happens to Israel, good or bad, is his doing.
- Psalm 115:4 The theme of this verse is one that is often found in the Old Testament: idols, unlike the God of Israel, do not speak, reveal, promise, or utter any spoken word; ultimately, divine revelation is the difference between the religions made by humans and the true religion of the Lord (see Ps 135:15-18; Deut 4:16; Isa 44:9ff; Jer 10:1ff; Bar 6:7ff).
- Psalm 115:9 In a litany, the various classes of people express their confidence in the Lord. The threefold division (house of Israel, house of Aaron, those who fear the Lord) occurs elsewhere (see Pss 118:2-4; 135:19f, refers to Aaron and Levi). It is unclear whether the phrase “those who fear the Lord” is a synonym for “house of Israel” (see Pss 34:8, 10; 85:10) or all of Israel (laity as well as priests) or whether it identifies a separate class from the house of Israel, namely the “God-fearers” known as the proselytes in the Old Testament (see 1 Ki 8:41; Isa 56:6) and in the New (see Acts 13:16, 26; 16:14).
- Psalm 115:12 Utilizing the same group of worshipers as in verses 9-11, the thought moves forward from God’s power to save to his power to enrich. The Lord does not discriminate among his people—all will be the recipients of his blessing. Although they may be put to the test by afflictions of various kinds, the Lord remembers those with whom he has made a covenant (see Pss 98:3; 136:23; Isa 49:14f) and delivers them, bringing to fulfillment the promises he has made.
- Psalm 115:13 The small no less than the great: the outcasts and the powerful. All will be treated alike by the Lord (see Jer 6:13; 16:6; 31:34; Rev 19:5).
- Psalm 115:14 Through these words of blessing, the Lord renews his promise that Abraham’s descendants will increase without end (see Ps 127:3-5; Deut 1:11; Isa 54:1-3; Zec 10:8-10).
- Psalm 115:16 The psalmist concludes with a short hymn of praise. In so doing, he reminds his people that they have been given the earth to enjoy and care for, while praising the Lord.
- Psalm 115:17 The psalmist stresses that the dead cannot praise the Lord; for, according to the idea of the ancients, in the netherworld the souls of the dead had a kind of shadowy existence with no activity or lofty emotion and could not offer praise to God. Silence: a euphemism for the grave (see Ps 94:17; see also notes on Pss 6:6 and 30:2).
- Psalm 115:18 Forevermore: some view this as saying that those who serve the living God will themselves live on, unlike the worshipers of lifeless idols (v. 8). This would then add its witness to an afterlife to such passages as Pss 11:7; 16:8-11; 17:15; 23:6; 49:16; 73:23ff; 139:18. Alleluia: i.e., “Hallelujah” or “Bless [or praise] the Lord”; the Septuagint and Vulgate add this line as the opening of Ps 116.

New English Translation
Psalm 115[a]
115 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name bring honor,[b]
for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness.[c]
2 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
3 Our God is in heaven.
He does whatever he pleases.[d]
4 Their[e] idols are made of silver and gold—
they are man-made.[f]
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see,
6 ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell,
7 hands, but cannot touch,
feet, but cannot walk.
They cannot even clear their throats.[g]
8 Those who make them will end up[h] like them,
as will everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the Lord.
He is their deliverer[i] and protector.[j]
10 O family[k] of Aaron, trust in the Lord.
He is their deliverer[l] and protector.[m]
11 You loyal followers of the Lord,[n] trust in the Lord.
He is their deliverer[o] and protector.[p]
12 The Lord takes notice of us;[q] he will bless[r]—
he will bless the family[s] of Israel,
he will bless the family of Aaron.
13 He will bless his loyal followers,[t]
both young and old.[u]
14 May he increase your numbers,
yours and your children’s.[v]
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Creator[w] of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens belong to the Lord,[x]
but the earth he has given to mankind.[y]
17 The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death.[z]
18 But we will praise the Lord
now and forevermore.
Praise the Lord!

- Psalm 115:1 tn Or “give glory.”
- Psalm 115:1 sn The psalmist asks the Lord to demonstrate his loyal love and faithfulness, not simply so Israel may benefit, but primarily so that the Lord will receive honor among the nations, who will recognize, contrary to their present view (see v. 2), that Israel’s God is committed to his people.
- Psalm 115:3 sn He does whatever he pleases. Such sovereignty is characteristic of kings (see Eccl 8:3).

- Psalm 115:4 tn Heb “the work of the hands of man.”

- Psalm 115:8 tn Heb “will be.” Another option is to take the prefixed verbal form as a prayer, “may those who make them end up like them.” sn Because the idols are lifeless, they cannot help their worshipers in times of crisis. Consequently the worshipers end up as dead as the gods in which they trust.
- Psalm 115:9 tn Or “[source of] help.”
- Psalm 115:9 tn Heb “and their shield.”

- Psalm 115:12 tn Another option is to translate the prefixed form of the verb “bless” in vv. 12-13 as a jussive, “may he bless” (see v. 14).
- Psalm 115:12 tn Heb “house.”
- Psalm 115:13 tn Heb “the fearers of the Lord.”
- Psalm 115:13 tn Heb “the small along with the great.” The translation assumes that “small” and “great” here refer to age (see 2 Chr 15:13). Another option is to translate “both the insignificant and the prominent” (see Job 3:19; cf. NEB “high and low alike”).
- Psalm 115:14 tn Heb “may he add to you, to you and your sons.” The prefixed verbal form is jussive, indicating this is a prayer.
- Psalm 115:15 tn Or “maker.”
