[1] Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your name give glory, for Your mercy and loving-kindness and for the sake of Your truth and faithfulness! [2] Why should the nations say, Where is now their God? [3] But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. [4] The idols of the nations 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 can they make a sound with their throats. [8] They who make idols are like them; so are all who trust in and lean on them. [9] O Israel, trust and take refuge in the Lord! [Lean on, rely on, and be confident in Him!] He is their Help and their Shield. [10] O house of Aaron [the priesthood], trust in and lean on the Lord! He is their Help and their Shield. [11] You who [reverently] fear the Lord, trust in and lean on 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 [the priesthood], [13] He will bless those who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord, both small and great. [14] May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children. [15] May you be blessed of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth! [16] The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth has He given to the children of men. [17] The dead praise not the Lord, neither any who go down into silence. [18] But we will bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) the Lord from this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
