[1] Glorify your name, not ours, O Lord! Cause everyone to praise your loving-kindness and your truth. [2] Why let the nations say, "Their God is dead!" [3] For he is in the heavens and does as he wishes. [4] Their gods are merely man-made things of silver and of gold. [5] They can't talk or see, despite their eyes and mouths! [6] Nor can they hear, nor smell, [7] nor use their hands or feet, nor speak! [8] And those who make and worship them are just as foolish as their idols are. [9] O Israel, trust the Lord! He is your helper. He is your shield. [10] O priests of Aaron, trust the Lord! He is your helper; he is your shield. [11] All of you, his people, trust in him. He is your helper; he is your shield. [12] Jehovah is constantly thinking about us, and he will surely bless us. He will bless the people of Israel and the priests of Aaron, [13] and all, both great and small, who reverence him. [14] May the Lord richly bless both you and your children. [15] Yes, Jehovah who made heaven and earth will personally bless you! [16] The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to all mankind. [17] The dead cannot sing praises to Jehovah here on earth, [18] but we can! We praise him forever! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
