1 - Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.
2 - Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?
3 - But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.
4 - Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 - They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;
6 - They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;
7 - They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.
8 - Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.
9 - O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
10 - O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
11 - You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
12 - The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.
13 - He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.
14 - May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.
15 - May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 - The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.
17 - The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.
18 - But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.
