[1]Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
[2]Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
[3]But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
[4]Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
[5]They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
[6]They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
[7]They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
[8]They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them.
[9]O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
[10]House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
[11]Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
[12]Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
[13]He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
[14]Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
[15]Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
[16]The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
[17]The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
[18]But *we* will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
