[1] Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
[2] Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
[3] Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.
[4] Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
[5] They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.
[6] They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.
[7] They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat.
[8] Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.
[9] O Israel, trust in the Lord ! He is their help and their shield.
[10] O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord ! He is their help and their shield.
[11] You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord ! He is their help and their shield.
[12] The Lord has remembered 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, both the small and the great.
[14] May the Lord give you increase, you and your children!
[15] May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
[16] The heavens are the Lord ’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.
[17] The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.
[18] But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord !
