 神是我们唯一的倚靠

115 耶和华啊!不要把荣耀归给我们,不要归给我们;

要因你的慈爱和信实把荣耀归在你的名下。

为甚么容列国的人说:

“他们的 神在哪里呢?”

我们的 神在天上;

他喜欢甚么,就作甚么。

列国的偶像是金的、银的,

是人手所做的。

它们有口,却不能说话;

有眼,却不能看;

有耳,却不能听;

有鼻,却不能闻;

有手,却不能摸;

有脚,却不能行;

也不能用喉咙发声。

做偶像的必和偶像一样;

凡是倚靠它们的,都必这样。

以色列啊!你们要倚靠耶和华;

他是你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)的帮助、你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)的盾牌。

10 亚伦家啊!你们要倚靠耶和华;

他是你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)的帮助、你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)的盾牌。

11 敬畏耶和华的啊!你们要倚靠耶和华;

他是你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)的帮助、你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)的盾牌。

12 耶和华顾念我们,

必赐福给我们;

他必赐福给以色列家,

赐福给亚伦家。

13 敬畏耶和华的,无论大小尊卑,

他都必赐福。

14 愿耶和华使你们增多,

使你们和你们的子孙增多。

15 愿你们蒙创造天地的耶和华赐福。

16 天属于耶和华,

地,他却赐给了世人。

17 死人不能赞美耶和华,

下到阴间的不能赞美他。

18 至于我们,我们要称颂耶和华,

从现在直到永远。

你们要赞美耶和华。

115 Not unto us, Hashem, not unto us, but unto Thy Shem give kavod, for the sake of Thy chesed, and for Thy emes.

Why should the Goyim say, Where is now their Elohim?

But Eloheinu is in Shomayim; He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.

Their atzabim (idols) are kesef and zahav, the ma’aseh (work) of the hands of adam.

Peh (mouth) they have, but they speak not; einayim (eyes) have they, but they see not;

Oznayim (ears) they have, but they hear not; af (nose) have they, but they smell not;

They have hands, but they handle not; raglayim (feet) have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their garon (throat).

They that make them will be like them; so is kol asher bote’ach (every one that trusteth) in them.

O Yisroel, trust thou in Hashem. He is their ezrah (help) and their mogen.

10 O Bais Aharon, trust thou in Hashem; He is their ezrah (help) and their mogen.

11 The ones fearing Hashem, trust in Hashem; He is their ezrah (help) and their mogen (shield).

12 Hashem hath been mindful of us; Yevarech. Yevarech es Bais Yisroel; Yevarech es Bais Aharon.

13 Yevarech Yirei Hashem (He will bless those who fear Hashem), the ketanim with the gedolim.

14 May Hashem give you increase, upon you and your banim.

15 May a barukhah be upon you by Hashem, Oseh Shomayim va’Aretz (Maker of Heaven and Earth).

16 The heavens, even Shomayim, is Hashem’s, but HaAretz He gave to the Bnei Adam.

17 The mesim (dead ones) praise not Hashem, neither do any that descend into Dumah (the silent [place of Sheol]).

18 But we will bless Hashem from this time forth v’ad olam (and to forevermore). Praise Hashem.

The Futility of Idols and the Trustworthiness of God

115 Not (A)unto us, O Lord, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth.
Why should the [a]Gentiles say,
(B)“So where is their God?”

(C)But our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases.
(D)Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
(E)Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.

(F)O Israel, trust in the Lord;
(G)He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord [b]has been mindful of us;
He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 (H)He will bless those who fear the Lord,
Both small and great.

14 May the Lord give you increase more and more,
You and your children.
15 May you be (I)blessed by the Lord,
(J)Who made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;
But the earth He has given to the children of men.
17 (K)The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor any who go down into silence.
18 (L)But we will bless the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!
