[1] Not to us, LORD, not to us—no, but to your own name give glory because of your loyal love and faithfulness! [2] Why do the nations say, “Where’s their God now?” [3] Our God is in heaven—he can do whatever he wants! [4] Their idols are just silver and gold—things made by human hands. [5] They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see. [6] They have ears, but they can’t hear. They have noses, but they can’t smell. [7] They have hands, but they can’t feel. They have feet, but they can’t walk. They can’t even make a noise in their throats! [8] Let the people who made these idols and all who trust in them become just like them! [9] But you, Israel, trust in the LORD! God is their help and shield. [10] Trust in the LORD, house of Aaron! God is their help and shield. [11] You who honor the LORD, trust in the LORD! God is their help and shield. [12] The LORD remembers us and will bless us: God will bless the house of Israel; God will bless the house of Aaron; [13] God will bless those who honor the LORD—from the smallest to the greatest. [14] May the LORD add to your numbers—both you and your children. [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth! [16] The highest heaven belongs to the LORD, but he gave the earth to all people. [17] The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor do those who go down to silence. [18] But us? We will bless the LORD from now until forever from now! Praise the LORD!
