[1] To you alone, O LORD, to you alone, and not to us, must glory be given because of your constant love and faithfulness. [2] Why should the nations ask us, "Where is your God?" [3] Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he wishes. [4] Their gods are made of silver and gold, formed by human hands. [5] They have mouths, but cannot speak, and eyes, but cannot see. [6] They have ears, but cannot hear, and noses, but cannot smell. [7] They have hands, but cannot feel, and feet, but cannot walk; they cannot make a sound. [8] May all who made them and who trust in them become like the idols they have made. [9] Trust in the LORD, you people of Israel. He helps you and protects you. [10] Trust in the LORD, you priests of God. He helps you and protects you. [11] Trust in the LORD, all you that worship him. He helps you and protects you. [12] The LORD remembers us and will bless us; he will bless the people of Israel and all the priests of God. [13] He will bless everyone who honors him, the great and the small alike. [14] May the LORD give you children- you and your descendants! [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth! [16] Heaven belongs to the LORD alone, but he gave the earth to us humans. [17] The LORD is not praised by the dead, by any who go down to the land of silence. [18] But we, the living, will give thanks to him now and forever. Praise the LORD!
