לֹ֤א לָ֥נוּ יְהוָ֗ה לֹ֫א לָ֥נוּ כִּֽי־לְ֭שִׁמְךָ תֵּ֣ן כָּבֹ֑וד עַל־חַ֝סְדְּךָ֗ עַל־אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ 1
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
לָ֭מָּה יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגֹּויִ֑ם אַיֵּה־נָ֝֗א אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃ 2
lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
וֵֽאלֹהֵ֥ינוּ בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵ֣ץ עָשָֽׂה׃ 3
But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
עֲ‍ֽ֭צַבֵּיהֶם כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃ 4
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
פֶּֽה־לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ עֵינַ֥יִם לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֽוּ׃ 5
They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
אָזְנַ֣יִם לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יִשְׁמָ֑עוּ אַ֥ף לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יְרִיחֽוּן׃ 6
they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
יְדֵיהֶ֤ם ׀ וְלֹ֬א יְמִישׁ֗וּן רַ֭גְלֵיהֶם וְלֹ֣א יְהַלֵּ֑כוּ לֹֽא־יֶ֝הְגּ֗וּ בִּגְרֹונָֽם׃ 7
they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
כְּ֭מֹוהֶם יִהְי֣וּ עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵ֣חַ בָּהֶֽם׃ 8
Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל בְּטַ֣ח בַּיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃ 9
The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
בֵּ֣ית אַ֭הֲרֹן בִּטְח֣וּ בַיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃ 10
The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
יִרְאֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה בִּטְח֣וּ בַיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃ 11
They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
יְהוָה֮ זְכָרָ֪נוּ יְבָ֫רֵ֥ךְ יְ֭בָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְ֝בָרֵ֗ךְ אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אַהֲרֹֽן׃ 12
The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
יְ֭בָרֵךְ יִרְאֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝קְּטַנִּ֗ים עִם־הַגְּדֹלִֽים׃ 13
He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
יֹסֵ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם עֲ֝לֵיכֶ֗ם וְעַל־בְּנֵיכֶֽם׃ 14
The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
בְּרוּכִ֣ים אַ֭תֶּם לַיהוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃ 15
Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם שָׁ֭מַיִם לַיהוָ֑ה וְ֝הָאָ֗רֶץ נָתַ֥ן לִבְנֵי־אָדָֽם׃ 16
The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
לֹ֣א הַ֭מֵּתִים יְהַֽלְלוּ־יָ֑הּ וְ֝לֹ֗א כָּל־יֹרְדֵ֥י דוּמָֽה׃ 17
The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ ׀ נְבָ֘רֵ֤ךְ יָ֗הּ מֵֽעַתָּ֥ה וְעַד־עֹולָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ 18
But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
