The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1Not to us, O יהוה, not to us, But to Your Name give esteem, For Your kindness, For Your truth. 2Why should the gentiles say, “Where now is their Elohim?” 3But our Elohim is in the heavens; Whatever pleased Him, He has done. 4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. 5They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see; 6They have ears, but they do not hear; They have noses, but they do not smell; 7They have hands, but they do not handle; They have feet, but they do not walk; They make no sound through their throat. 8The ones who make them, shall become like them – All who trust in them. 9O Yisra’ĕl, trust in יהוה; He is their help and their shield. 10O house of Aharon, trust in יהוה; He is their help and their shield. 11You who fear יהוה, trust in יהוה; He is their help and their shield. 12יהוה has remembered us; He blesses us; He blesses the house of Yisra’ĕl; He blesses the house of Aharon. 13He blesses those who fear יהוה, The small and the great. 14יהוה give you increase more and more, You and your children. 15You are blessed by יהוה, Who made the heavens and earth. 16The heavens are the heavens of יהוה; But He has given the earth to the children of men. 17The dead do not praise Yah, Nor any going down to silence. 18But we, we bless Yah Now and forever. Praise Yah! |
