1Not to us, Lord , not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.
2Why should the heathen say, ‘Where is now their God?’
3Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
4Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.
6They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell.
7They have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk: no sound comes from their throats.
8Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
9O Israel, trust in the Lord : he is their help and their shield.
10House of Aaron, trust in the Lord : he is their help and their shield.
11You who revere the Lord , trust in the Lord he is their help and their shield.
12The Lord , mindful of us, will bless us: he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless those who revere the Lord , the small and the great together.
14May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.
15Blessed be you of the Lord , creator of heaven and earth.
16The heavens are the heavens of the Lord , but the earth has he given to people.
17The dead cannot praise the Lord , nor those who go down into silence.
18But we will bless the Lord from now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
