1Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name bring honor,
for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.

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

3Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever he pleases.

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

5Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak;
they have eyes, but they do not see;

6they have ears, but they do not hear;
they have noses, but they do not smell.

7Those idols have hands, but do not feel;
they have feet, but they cannot walk;
nor do they speak from their mouths.

8Those who make them are like them,
as is everyone who trusts in them.

9Israel, trust in Yahweh;
he is your help and shield.

10House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh;
he is your help and shield.

11You who honor Yahweh, trust in him;
he is your help and shield.

12Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us;
he will bless the family of Israel;
he will bless the family of Aaron.

13He will bless those who honor him,
both young and old.

14May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more,
yours and your descendants'.

15May you be blessed by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.

16The heavens belong to Yahweh;
but the earth he has given to mankind.

17The dead do not praise Yahweh,
nor do any who go down into silence;

18But we will bless Yahweh
now and forevermore.
Praise Yahweh.
