Psalms

1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

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

11Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

12The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

14The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

1bởi vì Ngài thành tín yêu thương.

2Sao chư dân lại nói : “Thiên Chúa chúng ở đâu ?”

3muốn làm gì là Chúa làm nên.

4chỉ do tay người thế tạo thành.

5Có mắt có miệng, không nhìn không nói,

6có mũi có tai, không ngửi không nghe.

7từ cổ họng, không thốt ra một tiếng.

8cũng giống như chúng vậy.

9chính Chúa độ trì, làm thuẫn đỡ khiên che.

10chính Chúa độ trì, làm thuẫn đỡ khiên che.

11chính Chúa độ trì, làm thuẫn đỡ khiên che.

12sẽ ban phúc cho nhà A-ha-ron,

13cho người lớn cũng như kẻ nhỏ.

14cho anh em và cho con cháu.

15xuống muôn phúc lành cho anh em.

16còn đất thì Chúa cho con cái loài người.

17sẽ ca tụng ĐỨC CHÚA ;

18từ nay đến muôn đời.
