1 Not to us, Jehovah, not to us,

but to your name give glory,

for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God, now?”

3 But our God is in the heavens.

He does whatever he pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of men’s hands.

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

They have eyes, but they don’t see.

6 They have ears, but they don’t hear.

They have noses, but they don’t smell.

7 They have hands, but they don’t feel.

They have feet, but they don’t walk,

neither do they speak through their throat.

8 Those who make them will be like them;

yes, everyone who trusts in them.

9 Israel, trust in Jehovah!

He is their help and their shield.

10 House of Aaron, trust in Jehovah!

He is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah!

He is their help and their shield.

12 Jehovah remembers us. He will bless us.

He will bless the house of Israel.

He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah,

both small and great.

14 May Jehovah increase you more and more,

you and your children.

15 Blessed are you by Jehovah,

who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;

but the earth has he given to the children of men.

17 The dead don’t praise Jah,

neither any who go down into silence;

18 but we will bless Jah,

from this time forward and forever more.

Praise Jah!
