[1] It does not belong to us, LORD. The glory belongs to you because of your love and loyalty. [2] Why do the nations ask, "Where is their God?" [3] Our God is in heaven. He does what he pleases. [4] Their idols are made of silver and gold, the work of human hands. [5] They have mouths, but they cannot speak. They have eyes, but they cannot see. [6] They have ears, but they cannot hear. They have noses, but they cannot smell. [7] They have hands, but they cannot feel. They have feet, but they cannot walk. No sounds come from their throats. [8] People who make idols will be like them, and so will those who trust them. [9] Family of Israel, trust the LORD; he is your helper and your protection. [10] Family of Aaron, trust the LORD; he is your helper and your protection. [11] You who respect the LORD should trust him; he is your helper and your protection. [12] The LORD remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron. [13] The LORD will bless those who respect him, from the smallest to the greatest. [14] May the LORD give you success, and may he give you and your children success. [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. [16] Heaven belongs to the LORD, but he gave the earth to people. [17] Dead people do not praise the LORD; those in the grave are silent. [18] But we will praise the LORD now and forever. Praise the LORD!
