< 詩篇 115 >
1 耶和華啊,榮耀不要歸與我們, 不要歸與我們; 要因你的慈愛和誠實歸在你的名下!
Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3 然而,我們的上帝在天上, 都隨自己的意旨行事。
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
7 有手卻不能摸, 有腳卻不能走, 有喉嚨也不能出聲。
Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
9 以色列啊,你要倚靠耶和華! 他是你的幫助和你的盾牌。
Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
10 亞倫家啊,你們要倚靠耶和華! 他是你們的幫助和你們的盾牌。
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
11 你們敬畏耶和華的,要倚靠耶和華! 他是你們的幫助和你們的盾牌。
You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
12 耶和華向來眷念我們; 他還要賜福給我們: 要賜福給以色列的家, 賜福給亞倫的家。
Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
17 死人不能讚美耶和華; 下到寂靜中的也都不能。
The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
18 但我們要稱頌耶和華, 從今時直到永遠。 你們要讚美耶和華!
But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
