1Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;

2lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

3But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.

4The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

5They have a mouth, but they ²¹³can’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 handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.

8Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

9The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

10The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

11They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

12The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

13He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

14The Lord ²¹⁴add blessings to you and to your children.

15Blessed are you⌃ of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

16The heaven of ²¹⁵heavens belongs to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

17The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

18But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
