< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
לֹא לָנוּ יְהֹוָה לֹא־לָנוּ כִּֽי־לְשִׁמְךָ תֵּן כָּבוֹד עַל־חַסְדְּךָ עַל־אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
2 Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה־נָא אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃
3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
וֵאלֹהֵינוּ בַשָּׁמָיִם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ עָשָֽׂה׃
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
עֲֽצַבֵּיהֶם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָֽם׃
5 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
פֶּֽה־לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאֽוּ׃
6 They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
אׇזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִשְׁמָעוּ אַף לָהֶם וְלֹא יְרִיחֽוּן׃
7 Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
יְדֵיהֶם ׀ וְלֹא יְמִישׁוּן רַגְלֵיהֶם וְלֹא יְהַלֵּכוּ לֹא־יֶהְגּוּ בִּגְרוֹנָֽם׃
8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶֽם׃
9 O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּטַח בַּיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הֽוּא׃
10 O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בִּטְחוּ בַיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הֽוּא׃
11 You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה בִּטְחוּ בַיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הֽוּא׃
12 YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
יְהֹוָה זְכָרָנוּ יְבָרֵךְ יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּית אַהֲרֹֽן׃
13 He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
יְבָרֵךְ יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה הַקְּטַנִּים עִם־הַגְּדֹלִֽים׃
14 YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
יֹסֵף יְהֹוָה עֲלֵיכֶם עֲלֵיכֶם וְעַל־בְּנֵיכֶֽם׃
15 Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
בְּרוּכִים אַתֶּם לַיהֹוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃
16 The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
הַשָּׁמַיִם שָׁמַיִם לַיהֹוָה וְהָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִבְנֵי־אָדָֽם׃
17 The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
לֹא הַמֵּתִים יְהַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ וְלֹא כׇּל־יֹרְדֵי דוּמָֽה׃
18 And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
וַאֲנַחְנוּ ׀ נְבָרֵךְ יָהּ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
