✧Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake. ✧2Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?” ✧3But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases. ✧4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. ✧5They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see. ✧6They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell. ✧7They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat. ✧8Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them. ✧9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. ✧10House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. ✧11You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. ✧12The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. ✧13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great. ✧14May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children. ✧15Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. ✧16The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men. ✧17The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence, ✧18but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
