| 1 | לֹא לָנוּ יְהוָה לֹא לָנוּ כִּי־לְשִׁמְךָ תֵּן כָּבוֹד עַל־חַסְדְּךָ עַל־אֲמִתֶּךָ | Lo lá-nu Ado-nái lo lá-nu; ki le-shim-kha tén ka-vód; al khas-de-kha al a-mi-te-kha. | Not to us, O the LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness! |
| 2 | לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה־נָא אֱלֹהֵיהֶם | La-máh yo-me-rú ha-go-yím; ay-yéh na E-lo-hé-hem. | Why should the nations say, ‘Where is their God?’ |
| 3 | וֵאלֹהֵינוּ בַשָּׁמָיִם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ עָשָׂה | Ve-E-lo-hé-nu va-sha-má-yim; kól a-shér kha-fétz a-sáh. | Our God is in the heavens; He does all that He pleases. |
| 4 | עֲצַבֵּיהֶם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָם | A-tzab-bé-hem ké-sef ve-za-háv; ma-aséh ye-déi a-dám. | Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. |
| 5 | פֶּה־לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאוּ | Pe-hém ve-lo ye-dab-be-rú; e-na-yím la-hém ve-lo yir-ú. | They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. |
| 6 | אָזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִשְׁמָעוּ אַף לָהֶם וְלֹא יְרִיחוּן | Oz-na-yím la-hém ve-lo yish-ma-ú; af la-hém ve-lo ye-ri-khún. | They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. |
| 7 | יְדֵיהֶם וְלֹא יְמִישׁוּן רַגְלֵיהֶם וְלֹא יְהַלֵּכוּ לֹא־יֶהְגּוּ בִּגְרוֹנָם | Ye-de-hém ve-lo ye-mish-shún; rag-le-hém ve-lo ye-ha-le-khú; lo ye-hegú big-ro-nám. | They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. |
| 8 | כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶם | Ke-mo-hém yi-he-yú o-se-hém; kól a-shér bo-té-akh ba-hém. | Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. |
| 9 | יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּטַח בַּיהוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הוּא | Yis-ra-él be-tákh ba-Ado-nái; ez-rám u-ma-gi-n-nám hu. | O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. |
| 10 | בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בִּטְחוּ בַיהוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הוּא | Béit Ah-a-rón bit-khú va-Ado-nái; ez-rám u-ma-gi-n-nám hu. | O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. |
| 11 | יִרְאֵי יְהוָה בִּטְחוּ בַיהוָה עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הוּא | Yi-re-éi Ado-nái bit-khú va-Ado-nái; ez-rám u-ma-gi-n-nám hu. | You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. |
| 12 | יְהוָה זְכָרָנוּ יְבָרֵךְ יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּית אַהֲרֹן | Ado-nái ze-kha-rá-nu ye-va-rékh; ye-va-rékh et béit Yis-ra-él; ye-va-rékh et béit Ah-a-rón. | The LORD has remembered us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. |
| 13 | יְבָרֵךְ יִרְאֵי יְהוָה הַקְּטַנִּים עִם־הַגְּדֹלִים | Ye-va-rékh yi-re-éi Ado-nái; ha-ke-ta-n-ním im ha-ge-do-lím. | He will bless those who fear the LORD, both the small and the great. |
| 14 | יֹסֵף יְהוָה עֲלֵיכֶם עֲלֵיכֶם וְעַל־בְּנֵיכֶם | Yo-séf Ado-nái a-le-khém; a-le-khém ve-al be-ne-khém. | May the LORD give you increase, you and your children! |
| 15 | בְּרוּכִים אַתֶּם לַיהוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ | Be-ru-khím a-tém la-Ado-nái; o-séh sha-má-yim va-a-rétz. | May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth! |
| 16 | הַשָּׁמַיִם שָׁמַיִם לַיהוָה וְהָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִבְנֵי־אָדָם | Ha-sha-má-yim sha-má-yim la-Ado-nái; ve-ha-a-rétz na-tán li-ve-néi a-dám. | The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but the earth He has given to the children of man. |
| 17 | לֹא הַמֵּתִים יְהַלְלוּ־יָהּ וְלֹא כָּל־יֹרְדֵי דוּמָה | Lo ha-me-tím ye-ha-le-lú-Yáh; ve-lo kál yo-re-déi du-máh. | The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence. |
| 18 | וַאֲנַחְנוּ נְבָרֵךְ יָהּ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם הַלְלוּ־יָהּ | Va-a-nakh-nú ne-va-rékh Yáh; me-at-táh ve-ad o-lám; ha-le-lu-yáh. | But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Hallelujah! |
