1 - Not to us, 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 human hands.
5 - They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
6 - They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.
7 - They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but 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 - All you Israelites, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.
10 - 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 his people 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 cause you to flourish, 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, those who go down to the place of silence;
18 - it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord.
