Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.
2 Why should the nations say,
“Where, now, is their God?”
3 But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 They have hands, but they cannot feel;
They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8 Those who make them will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You whofear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
12 The Lordhas been mindful of us; He will blessus;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those whofear the Lord,
The small together with the great.
14 May the Lordgive you increase,
You and your children.
15 May you be blessed of the Lord,
Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,
But the earth He has given to the sons of men.
17 The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nordoany who go down into silence;
18 But as for us, we will bless the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
Praise the Lord!
