Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness. |
|
2
|
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” |
|
3
|
Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases. |
|
4
|
Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. |
|
5
|
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; |
|
6
|
they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; |
|
7
|
they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. |
|
8
|
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. |
|
9
|
O 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 the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. |
|
12
|
The LORD is 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—small and great alike. |
|
14
|
May the LORD give 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 mankind. |
|
17
|
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence. |
|
18
|
But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah! |
