[1] Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.
[2] Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
[3] But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatever he has pleased.
[4] Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
[5] They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
[6] They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
[7] They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
[8] They that make them are like to them; so is every one that trusts in them.
[9] O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
[10] O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
[11] You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
[12] The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
[13] He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
[14] The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
[15] You are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
[16] The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth has he given to the children of men.
[17] The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
[18] But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever more. Praise the LORD.
