1
Not a unto us, O LORD, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth.
2
Why should the 1 Gentiles say,
b "So where is their God?"
3
c But our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases.
4
d Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men's hands.
5
They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
6
They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
7
They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
8
e Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.
9
f O Israel, trust in the LORD;
g 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 2 has been mindful of us;
He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13
h He will bless those who fear the LORD,
Both small and great.
14
May the LORD give you increase more and more,
You and your children.
15
May you be i blessed by the LORD,
j Who made heaven and earth.
16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's;
But the earth He has given to the children of men.
17
k The dead do not praise the LORD,
Nor any who go down into silence.
18
l But we will bless the LORD
From this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the LORD!
