 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。

Dead Idols and the Living God

115 Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
because of your loyal love,
because of your faithfulness.
Why should the nations say,
“Where, pray tell,[a] is their God?”
But our God is in the heavens;
all that he desires, he does.
Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but cannot speak;
they have eyes, but cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear;
they have noses, but cannot smell;
they have their hands, but they cannot feel,
their feet, but they cannot walk;
they cannot utter a sound in their throats.
Those who make them become like them,
as does everyone who trusts in them.
O Israel, trust Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh remembers us; he will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
the small with the great.
14 May Yahweh give you increase,
you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of humankind.
17 The dead do not praise Yah,[b]
nor any descending into silence.
18 It is we, we will bless Yah[c]
from now until forever.
Praise Yah![d]

Psalm 115(A)

Not to us, Lord, not to us
    but to your name be the glory,(B)
    because of your love and faithfulness.(C)

Why do the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”(D)
Our God is in heaven;(E)
    he does whatever pleases him.(F)
But their idols are silver and gold,(G)
    made by human hands.(H)
They have mouths, but cannot speak,(I)
    eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
    noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

All you Israelites, trust(J) in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.
10 House of Aaron,(K) trust in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.
11 You who fear him,(L) trust in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.

12 The Lord remembers(M) us and will bless us:(N)
    He will bless his people Israel,
    he will bless the house of Aaron,
13 he will bless those who fear(O) the Lord
    small and great alike.

14 May the Lord cause you to flourish,(P)
    both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(Q) and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord,(R)
    but the earth he has given(S) to mankind.
17 It is not the dead(T) who praise the Lord,
    those who go down to the place of silence;
18 it is we who extol the Lord,(U)
    both now and forevermore.(V)

Praise the Lord.[a](W)
