Ps 115

NNot to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness. (LXX 113:9; Rahlfs 113:9) לֹ֤א לָ֥נוּ יְהוָ֗ה לֹ֫א לָ֥נוּ כִּֽי־לְ֭שִׁמְךָ תֵּ֣ן כָּב֑וֹד עַל־חַ֝סְדְּךָ֗ עַל־אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ 2Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” (LXX 113:10; Rahlfs 113:10) לָ֭מָּה יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגּוֹיִ֑ם אַיֵּה־נָ֝֗א אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃ 3Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases. (LXX 113:11; Rahlfs 113:11) וֵֽאלֹהֵ֥ינוּ בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵ֣ץ עָשָֽׂה׃ 4Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. (LXX 113:12; Rahlfs 113:12) עֲֽ֭צַבֵּיהֶם כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃ 5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; (LXX 113:13; Rahlfs 113:13) פֶּֽה־לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ עֵינַ֥יִם לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֽוּ׃ 6they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; (LXX 113:14; Rahlfs 113:14) אָזְנַ֣יִם לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יִשְׁמָ֑עוּ אַ֥ף לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יְרִיחֽוּן׃ 7they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. (LXX 113:15; Rahlfs 113:15) יְדֵיהֶ֤ם ׀ וְלֹ֬א יְמִישׁ֗וּן רַ֭גְלֵיהֶם וְלֹ֣א יְהַלֵּ֑כוּ לֹֽא־יֶ֝הְגּ֗וּ בִּגְרוֹנָֽם׃ 8Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. (LXX 113:16; Rahlfs 113:16) כְּ֭מוֹהֶם יִהְי֣וּ עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵ֣חַ בָּהֶֽם׃ 9O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield. (LXX 113:17; Rahlfs 113:17) יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל בְּטַ֣ח בַּיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃ 10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield. (LXX 113:18; Rahlfs 113:18) בֵּ֣ית אַ֭הֲרֹן בִּטְח֣וּ בַיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃ 11You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield. (LXX 113:19; Rahlfs 113:19) יִרְאֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה בִּטְח֣וּ בַיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃ 12The Lord is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron; (LXX 113:20; Rahlfs 113:20) יְהוָה֮ זְכָרָ֪נוּ יְבָ֫רֵ֥ךְ יְ֭בָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְ֝בָרֵ֗ךְ אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אַהֲרֹֽן׃ 13He will bless those who fear the Lord—small and great alike. (LXX 113:21; Rahlfs 113:21) יְ֭בָרֵךְ יִרְאֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝קְּטַנִּ֗ים עִם־הַגְּדֹלִֽים׃ 14May the Lord give you increase, both you and your children. (LXX 113:22; Rahlfs 113:22) יֹסֵ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם עֲ֝לֵיכֶ֗ם וְעַל־בְּנֵיכֶֽם׃ 15May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (LXX 113:23; Rahlfs 113:23) בְּרוּכִ֣ים אַ֭תֶּם לַיהוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃ 16The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth He has given to mankind. (LXX 113:24; Rahlfs 113:24) הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם שָׁ֭מַיִם לַיהוָ֑ה וְ֝הָאָ֗רֶץ נָתַ֥ן לִבְנֵי־אָדָֽם׃ 17It is not the dead who praise the Lord, nor any who descend into silence. (LXX 113:25; Rahlfs 113:25) לֹ֣א הַ֭מֵּתִים יְהַֽלְלוּ־יָ֑הּ וְ֝לֹ֗א כָּל־יֹרְדֵ֥י דוּמָֽה׃ 18But it is we who will bless the Lord, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah! (LXX 113:26; Rahlfs 113:26) וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ ׀ נְבָ֘רֵ֤ךְ יָ֗הּ מֵֽעַתָּ֥ה וְעַד־עוֹלָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
