[1] Not for us, O Eternal One; this glory is not for us-but for Your name because of Your loyal love and truth. [2] Why should the nations ask, "Where is their God now?" [3] Our God is in heaven doing whatever He chooses. [4] Those nations worship idols of silver and gold, crafted by human hands: [5] They have given their gods mouths, but they cannot speak; eyes, but they cannot see. [6] They have provided their idols with ears, but they cannot hear; noses, but they cannot smell. [7] They have fashioned hands, but the idols cannot reach out and touch; feet, but they cannot walk. Their idols cannot make a sound in their finely crafted throats. [8] The people who make idols will become useless like them, like all who trust in idols. [9] O Israel, put your trust in the Eternal. He is their helper and defender. [10] O family of Aaron, put your trust in the Eternal. He is their helper and defender. [11] All who fear and know the Eternal, put your trust in Him. He is their helper and defender. [12] The Eternal has remembered us, and He will bless us. He will bless the people of Israel. He will bless the priestly family of Aaron. [13] The Eternal will bless those who worship and stand in awe of Him, from the least to the greatest. [14] May the Eternal prosper your family, growing both you and your descendants. [15] May the blessings of the Eternal, maker of heaven and earth, be on you. [16] The heavens above belong to the Eternal, and yet earth in all of its beauty has been given to humanity by Him. [17] The dead do not praise the Eternal, nor do any who descend into the silent grave. [18] But we will praise and bless You-our Eternal One- today and forever. Praise the Eternal!
