\d A psalm written by David
|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, people should praise you alone;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they must praise you, not us,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 because you faithfully love us and always do what you have promised to do.
|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 It is not right that other people groups should say about us,
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 "They claim that their God is very powerful,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 but if that is true, why does he not help them?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 Our God is in heaven,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and he does whatever he wants!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 But their idols are only statues made of silver and gold,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 things that humans have made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say anything;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they have eyes, but they cannot see anything.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 They have ears, but they cannot hear anything;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they have noses, but they cannot smell anything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 They have hands, but they cannot feel anything;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they have feet, but they cannot walk,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and they cannot even make any sounds in their throats!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 The people who make those idols are as powerless as those idols,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and those who trust in those idols can accomplish nothing, just like their idols!
|
|
|
|
|
\b

|
|
|
|
|

\v 9 You, my fellow Israelite people, trust in Yahweh!
|

|
|
|
\q2 He is the one who helps you and protects you like a shield.

|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 You priests, descendants of Aaron, trust in Yahweh!
|
2016-08-08 18:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
\q2 He is the one who helps you and protects you like a shield.
|
2016-04-01 21:07:40 +00:00
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 All you who have a reverential respect for Yahweh, trust in him!

|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 Yahweh has not forgotten us;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he will bless us Israelite people!
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 He will bless the priests,
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 and he will bless all those who have a reverential respect for him;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he will bless important people and people who are considered to be unimportant, everyone!
|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 I wish that Yahweh may give many children
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 to you, my fellow Israelite people, and to your descendants.

|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 15 I wish that Yahweh, the one who made heaven and the earth, may bless all of you!

\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 16 The highest heavens belong to Yahweh,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 but he gave everything that is on the earth to us people.

\s5

|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 17 Dead people are not able to praise Yahweh;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 when they descend into the place where dead people are,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they are unable to speak and cannot praise him.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 18 But we who are alive will thank him,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 now and forever.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
\q1 Praise Yahweh!
