| 1 | Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. | |
| 2 | Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?" | |
| 3 | Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. | |
| 4 | But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. | |
| 5 | They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; | |
| 6 | they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell; | |
| 7 | they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. | |
| 8 | Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. | |
| 9 | O house of Israel, trust in the LORD--he is their help and shield. | |
| 10 | O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD--he is their help and shield. | |
| 11 | You who fear him, trust in the LORD--he is their help and shield. | |
| 12 | The LORD remembers us and 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--small and great alike. | |
| 14 | May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children. | |
| 15 | May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | |
| 16 | The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man. | |
| 17 | It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to silence; | |
| 18 | it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD. | |
