< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.
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!
2 Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
為何容外邦人說: 他們的上帝在哪裏呢?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
然而,我們的上帝在天上, 都隨自己的意旨行事。
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
他們的偶像是金的,銀的, 是人手所造的,
5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
有口卻不能言, 有眼卻不能看,
6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
有耳卻不能聽, 有鼻卻不能聞,
7 They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.
有手卻不能摸, 有腳卻不能走, 有喉嚨也不能出聲。
8 Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
造他的要和他一樣; 凡靠他的也要如此。
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
以色列啊,你要倚靠耶和華! 他是你的幫助和你的盾牌。
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
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。
11 Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
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。
12 Jehovah has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
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。
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
凡敬畏耶和華的,無論大小, 主必賜福給他。
14 Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
願耶和華叫你們 和你們的子孫日見加增。
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
你們蒙了造天地之耶和華的福!
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
天,是耶和華的天; 地,他卻給了世人。
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
死人不能讚美耶和華; 下到寂靜中的也都不能。
18 but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
但我們要稱頌耶和華, 從今時直到永遠。 你們要讚美耶和華!
