The Impotence of Idols and the Greatness of God
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

“Where is their God?”

he does whatever he pleases.

eyes, but do not see.
6 They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7 They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
they make no sound in their throats.
8 Those who make them are like them;
so are all who trust in them.

115
(113B). Il-Mulej waħdu hu Alla
[S:115:1]
Mhux lilna, Mulej, mhux lilna,
iżda lil ismek sebbaħ,
għat-tjieba u l-fedeltà tiegħek.
[S:115:2]
Għaliex għandhom jgħidu l-ġnus:
"Fejn hu Alla tagħhom?"
[S:115:3]
Fis-smewwiet hu Alla tagħna;
hu jagħmel kull ma jogħġbu.
[S:115:4]
Fidda u deheb huma l-allat tagħhom,
xogħol ta' idejn il-bniedem.
[S:115:5]
Għandhom il-fomm, u ma jitkellmux;
għandhom l-għajnejn, u ma jarawx;
[S:115:6]
għandhom il-widnejn, u ma jisimgħux;
għandhom l-imnieħer, u ma jxommux;
[S:115:7]
għandhom l-idejn, u ma jmissux;
għandhom ir-riġlejn, u ma jimxux;
ebda leħen ma joħroġ minn fommhom.
[S:115:8]
Bħalhom ikunu dawk li jagħmluhom,
u dawk kollha li jittamaw fihom.
[S:115:9]
Iżrael ittama fil-Mulej;
hu l-għajnuna u t-tarka tagħhom.
[S:115:10]
Dar Aron ittamaw fil-Mulej;
hu l-għajnuna u t-tarka tagħhom.
[S:115:11] Dawk li jibżgħu mill-Mulej ittamaw fil-Mulej;
hu l-għajnuna u t-tarka tagħhom.
[S:115:12]
Il-Mulej jiftakar fina u jberikna;
ibierek 'il dar Iżrael,
ibierek 'il dar Aron.
[S:115:13]
Ibierek 'il dawk li jibżgħu mill-Mulej,
kemm iż-żgħar u kemm il-kbar.
[S:115:14]
Ikattarkom ħafna l-Mulej,
lilkom u 'l uliedkom.
[S:115:15]
Mberkin intom mill-Mulej,
li għamel is-sema u l-art.
[S:115:16] Is-smewwiet huma s-smewwiet tal-Mulej;
imma l-art hu taha lill-bnedmin.
[S:115:17]
M'humiex il-mejtin li jfaħħru l-Mulej,
anqas ħadd minn dawk li jmorru fis-skiet;
[S:115:18]
imma aħna li nbierku l-Mulej,
minn issa u għal dejjem.
Hallelujah!
.
