1Not to us, O Lord , not to us, but to your name give glory,[#Isa. 48:11; Ezek. 36:22; Dan. 9:18, 19]
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
2Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
3Our God is in the heavens;[#Ps. 11:4]
he does all that he pleases.
4Their idols are silver and gold,[#Ps. 135:15-18]
the work of human hands.
5They have mouths, but do not speak;[#Isa. 46:7; Hab. 2:18]
eyes, but do not see.
6They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8Those who make them become like them;[#Isa. 44:9]
so do all who trust in them.
9O Israel, trust in the Lord ![#Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20; #115:9 Masoretic Text; many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac; #Ps. 37:3; 62:8]
He is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord ![#9]
He is their help and their shield.
11You who fear the Lord , trust in the Lord ![#Ps. 22:23; 103:11, 13, 17]
He is their help and their shield.
12The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;
13he will bless those who fear the Lord ,[#Ps. 112:1]
both the small and the great.
14May the Lord give you increase,[#Deut. 1:11]
you and your children!
15May you be blessed by the Lord ,[#Ruth 2:20]
who made heaven and earth!
16The heavens are the Lord ’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
17The dead do not praise the Lord ,[#Ps. 6:5]
nor do any who go down into silence.
18But we will bless the Lord[#Ps. 113:2]
from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the Lord !
