PSALMS 诗篇115

1Not to us, O Lord , not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
2Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"
3Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
4But their idols¹ are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
6they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
7they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
8Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
9O house of Israel, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.
11You who fear him, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.
12The Lord remembers us and 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 - small and great alike.
14May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children.
15May you be blessed by the Lord , the Maker² of heaven and earth.
16The highest heavens belong to the Lord , but the earth he has given to man.
17It is not the dead who praise the Lord , those who go down to silence;
18it is we who extol³ the Lord , both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord .
