¹Not to us, Adonai , not to us,

but to your name give glory,

because of your grace and truth.

²Why should the nations ask,

“Where is their God?”

³Our God is in heaven;

he does whatever pleases him.

⁴Their idols are mere silver and gold,

made by human hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they can’t speak;

they have eyes, but they can’t see;

⁶they have ears, but they can’t hear;

they have noses, but they can’t smell;

⁷they have hands, but they can’t feel;

they have feet, but they can’t walk;

with their throats they can’t make a sound.

⁸The people who make them will become like them,

along with everyone who trusts in them.

⁹Isra’el, trust in Adonai !

He is their help and shield.

¹⁰House of Aharon, trust in Adonai !

He is their help and shield.

¹¹You who fear Adonai , trust in Adonai !

He is their help and shield.

¹²Adonai has kept us in mind,

and he will bless.

He will bless the house of Isra’el;

he will bless the house of Aharon;

¹³he will bless those who fear Adonai ,

great and small alike.

¹⁴May Adonai increase your numbers,

both yours and those of your children.

¹⁵May you be blessed by Adonai ,

the maker of heaven and earth.

¹⁶Heaven belongs to Adonai ,

but the earth he has given to humankind.

¹⁷The dead can’t praise Adonai ,

not those who sink down into silence.

¹⁸But we will bless Adonai

from now on and forever.

Halleluyah !
