1Not to us, Adonai, not to us, but to your name give kavod ·weighty glory·,
for your chesed ·loving-kindness·, and for your truth’s sake.

2Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

3But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

6They have ears, but they don’t sh'ma ·hear obey·. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

7They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, ²³⁴
neither do they speak through their throat.

8Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

9Israel [God prevails], trust in Adonai! He is their help and their shield.

10House of Aaron [Light-bringer], trust in Adonai! He is their help and their shield.

11You who fear Adonai, trust in Adonai! He is their help and their shield.

12Adonai remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel [God prevails].
He will bless the house of Aaron [Light-bringer].

13He will bless those who fear Adonai, both small and great. ²³⁵

14May Adonai increase you more and more, you and your children.

15Blessed are you by Adonai, who made heaven and earth.

16The heavens are the heavens of Adonai; but the earth has he given to the children of men.

17The dead don’t Halleluyah ·praise Yah·, neither any who go down into silence;

18But we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
