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