PSALM 115

1 Not to us, O Lord , not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.

2 Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"

3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.

我们的神在天上。凡和他心意的，都是他所为。

4 But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

5 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;

6 they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;

7 they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

8 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

9 O house of Israel, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.

11 You who fear him, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.

12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,

13 he will bless those who fear the Lord - small and great alike.

14 May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord , the Maker of heaven and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord , but the earth he has given to man.

17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord , those who go down to silence;

18 it is we who extol the Lord , both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord .
