Chapter 115

1. Not for us, O Lord, not for us, but for Your name give honor, for Your kindness and for Your truthfulness.		א. לֹא לָנוּ יְהֹוָה לֹא לָנוּ כִּי לְשִׁמְךָ תֵּן כָּבוֹד עַל חַסְדְּךָ עַל אֲמִתֶּךָ:
Not for us: Not for us or for the fitness of our deeds shall You do [this] for us.
but for Your name give honor: So that they should not say, “Where is their God now?”
2. Why should the nations say, "Where is your God now?"		ב. לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה נָא אֱלֹהֵיהֶם:
3. But our God is in heaven; whatever He wishes, He does.		ג. וֵאלֹהֵינוּ בַשָּׁמָיִם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר חָפֵץ עָשָׂה:
4. Their idols are silver and gold, the handiwork of man.		ד. עֲצַבֵּיהֶם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָם:
5. They have a mouth but they do not speak; they have eyes but they do not see.		ה. פֶּה לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאוּ:
6. They have ears but they do not hear; they have a nose but they do not smell.		ו. אָזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִשְׁמָעוּ אַף לָהֶם וְלֹא יְרִיחוּן:
7. Their hands-but they do not feel; their feet-but they do not walk; they do not murmur with their throat.		ז. יְדֵיהֶם \| וְלֹא יְמִישׁוּן רַגְלֵיהֶם וְלֹא יְהַלֵּכוּ לֹא יֶהְגּוּ בִּגְרוֹנָם:
but they do not feel: Heb. ימישון, an expression of (Gen. 27:12): “Perhaps my father will feel me (ימשני).”
8. Like them shall be those who make them, all who trust in them.		ח. כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶם:
9. Israel, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.		ט. יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּטַח בַּיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הוּא:
10. House of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.		י. בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בִּטְחוּ בַיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הוּא:
11. Those who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.		יא. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה בִּטְחוּ בַיהֹוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הוּא:
Those who fear the Lord: These are the proselytes.
12. The Lord, Who remembered us, will bless; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.		יב. יְהֹוָה זְכָרָנוּ יְבָרֵךְ יְבָרֵךְ אֶת בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יְבָרֵךְ אֶת בֵּית אַהֲרֹן:
13. He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small together with the great.		יג. יְבָרֵךְ יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה הַקְּטַנִּים עִם הַגְּדֹלִים:
14. May the Lord add upon you, upon you and upon your children.		יד. יֹסֵף יְהֹוָה עֲלֵיכֶם עֲלֵיכֶם וְעַל בְּנֵיכֶם:
15. Blessed are you to the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.		טו. בְּרוּכִים אַתֶּם לַיהֹוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ:
16. The heavens are heavens of the Lord, but the earth He gave to the children of men.		טז. הַשָּׁמַיִם שָׁמַיִם לַיהֹוָה וְהָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִבְנֵי אָדָם:
17. Neither will the dead praise God, nor all those who descend to the grave.		יז. לֹא הַמֵּתִים יְהַלְלוּ יָהּ וְלֹא כָּל יֹרְדֵי דוּמָה:
18. But we shall bless God from now until everlasting, Hallelujah!		יח. וַאֲנַחְנוּ \| נְבָרֵךְ יָהּ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד עוֹלָם הַלְלוּיָהּ:
