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.
