1Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! (诗36:5; 赛48:11; 结36:22; 但9:18)2Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” (出32:12; 民14:13; 诗42:3)3Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. (诗11:4; 诗135:6; 但4:35)4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. (申4:28; 王下19:18; 诗135:15; 赛37:19; 赛44:10; 耶10:3; 徒19:26)5They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. (赛46:7; 哈2:18)6They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.7They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat.8Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. (赛44:9)9O Israel,[1] trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield. (诗33:20; 诗37:3; 诗62:8; 诗118:2; 诗135:19)10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield. (诗3:3; 诗115:9)11You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield. (诗22:23; 诗103:11; 诗103:13; 诗103:17)12The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; (诗118:2; 诗135:19)13he will bless those who fear the Lord, both the small and the great. (诗112:1; 耶16:6; 耶31:34)14May the Lord give you increase, you and your children! (申1:11)15May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth! (创1:1; 创14:19; 得2:20; 诗121:2; 诗124:8; 诗134:3; 诗146:6; 耶10:11; 徒14:15; 启14:7)16The heavens are the Lord’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.17The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence. (诗6:5; 诗31:17)18But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord! (诗104:35; 诗113:2)
