[1] Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness. [2] Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” [3] Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases. [4] Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. [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; they cannot even clear their throats. [8] Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. [9] O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. [10] O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. [11] You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. [12] The LORD is 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 those who fear the LORD—small and great alike. [14] May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children. [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. [16] The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind. [17] It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence. [18] But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
