Tehillim 115

Orthodox Jewish Bible

115 Not unto us, Hashem, not unto us, but unto Thy Shem give kavod, for the sake of Thy chesed, and for Thy emes.

² Why should the Goyim say, Where is now their Elohim?

³ But Eloheinu is in Shomayim; He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.

⁴ Their atzabim (idols) are kesef and zahav, the ma’aseh (work) of the hands of adam.

⁵ Peh (mouth) they have, but they speak not; einayim (eyes) have they, but they see not;

⁶ Oznayim (ears) they have, but they hear not; af (nose) have they, but they smell not;

⁷ They have hands, but they handle not; raglayim (feet) have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their garon (throat).

⁸ They that make them will be like them; so is kol asher bote’ach (every one that trusteth) in them.

⁹ O Yisroel, trust thou in Hashem. He is their ezrah (help) and their mogen.

¹⁰ O Bais Aharon, trust thou in Hashem; He is their ezrah (help) and their mogen.

¹¹ The ones fearing Hashem, trust in Hashem; He is their ezrah (help) and their mogen (shield).

¹² Hashem hath been mindful of us; Yevarech. Yevarech es Bais Yisroel; Yevarech es Bais Aharon.

¹³ Yevarech Yirei Hashem (He will bless those who fear Hashem), the ketanim with the gedolim.

¹⁴ May Hashem give you increase, upon you and your banim.

¹⁵ May a barukhah be upon you by Hashem, Oseh Shomayim va’Aretz (Maker of Heaven and Earth).

¹⁶ The heavens, even Shomayim, is Hashem’s, but HaAretz He gave to the Bnei Adam.

¹⁷ The mesim (dead ones) praise not Hashem, neither do any that descend into Dumah (the silent [place of Sheol]).

¹⁸ But we will bless Hashem from this time forth v’ad olam (and to forevermore). Praise Hashem.
