1 Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your steadfast love, because of your faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations say, "Where, then, is their God?"
3 Our God is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
5 They have a mouth but cannot speak, eyes but cannot see;
6 they have ears but cannot hear, a nose but cannot smell;
7 they have hands but cannot feel, feet but cannot walk; no sound comes from their throat.
8 Those who make them will become like them, and so will all who trust in them.
9 Israel, trust in the LORD—he is their help and their shield.
10 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 and will bless—he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 he will bless those who fear the LORD, the small together with the great.
14 May the LORD give you increase, you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens—the heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who go down into the silence.
18 But we will bless the LORD from now on and forever. Hallelujah!
