[1] Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for the sake
of thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness! [2] Why should the nations say,
"Where is their God?" [3] Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he
pleases. [4] Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's 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 are like them; so are all who trust in
them. [9] O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
[10] O house of Aaron, put your 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 been mindful of 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 small and 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 sons of men. [17] The dead do
not praise the LORD, nor do any that go down into silence. [18] But we will
bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD!
