Chapter 115
1לֹא לָנוּ יְהֹוָה לֹא־לָנוּ כִּֽי־לְשִׁמְךָ תֵּן כָּבוֹד עַל־חַסְדְּךָ עַל־אֲמִתֶּֽךָNot to us, O ETERNAL One, not to us but to Your name bring glory for the sake of Your love and Your faithfulness.
2לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה־נָא אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽםLet the nations not say, “Where, now, is their God?”
3וֵאלֹהֵינוּ בַשָּׁמָיִם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ עָשָֽׂהwhen our God is in heaven and whatever [God] wants is accomplished.
4עֲֽצַבֵּיהֶם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָֽםTheir idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
5פֶּֽה־לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאֽוּThey have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see;
6אׇזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִשְׁמָעוּ אַף לָהֶם וְלֹא יְרִיחֽוּןthey have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell;
7יְדֵיהֶם וְלֹא יְמִישׁוּן רַגְלֵיהֶם וְלֹא יְהַלֵּכוּ לֹא־יֶהְגּוּ בִּגְרוֹנָֽםthey have hands, but cannot touch, feet, but cannot walk; they can make no sound in their throats.
8כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶֽםThose who fashion them, all who trust in them, shall become like them.
9יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּטַח בַּיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הֽוּאO Israel, trust in GOD— who is your help and shield.
10בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בִּטְחוּ בַיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הֽוּאO house of Aaron, trust in GOD— who is your help and shield.
11יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה בִּטְחוּ בַיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הֽוּאO you who fear GOD, trust in GOD— who is your help and shield.
12יְהֹוָה זְכָרָנוּ יְבָרֵךְ יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּית אַהֲרֹֽןGOD, mindful of us, will bless us— blessing the house of Israel, blessing the house of Aaron,
13יְבָרֵךְ יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה הַקְּטַנִּים עִם־הַגְּדֹלִֽיםand blessing those who revere GOD, small and great alike.
14יֹסֵף יְהֹוָה עֲלֵיכֶם עֲלֵיכֶם וְעַל־בְּנֵיכֶֽםMay GOD increase your numbers, yours and your children’s also.
15בְּרוּכִים אַתֶּם לַיהֹוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץMay you be blessed by GOD, Maker of heaven and earth.
16הַשָּׁמַיִם שָׁמַיִם לַיהֹוָה וְהָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִבְנֵי־אָדָֽםThe heavens belong to GOD, but the earth was given over to humankind.
17לֹא הַמֵּתִים יְהַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ וְלֹא כׇּל־יֹרְדֵי דוּמָֽהThe dead cannot praise Yah, nor any who go down into silence.
18וַאֲנַחְנוּ נְבָרֵךְ יָהּ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּBut we will bless Yah now and forever. Hallelujah.
