1Not unto us , O Jehovah , not unto us , But unto thy name give glory , For thy lovingkindness , and for thy truth ’s sake . 2Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God? 3But our God is in the heavens : He hath done whatsoever he pleased . 4Their idols are silver and gold , The work of men’s hands . 5They have mouths , but they speak not ; Eyes have they , but they see not ; 6They have ears, but they hear not ; Noses have they , but they smell not ; 7They have hands , but they handle not ; Feet have they , but they walk not ; Neither speak they through their throat . 8They that make them shall be like unto them ; Yea, every one that trusteth in them .
Trusting in the Lord
9O Israel , trust thou in Jehovah : He is their help and their shield . 10O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah : He is their help and their shield . 11Ye that fear Jehovah , trust in Jehovah : He is their help and their shield .
The Blessing of the Lord
12Jehovah hath been mindful of us ; he will bless us : He will bless the house of Israel ; He will bless the house of Aaron. 13He will bless them that fear Jehovah , Both small and great . 14Jehovah increase you more and more , You and your children . 15Blessed are ye of Jehovah , Who made heaven and earth .
The Dead Cannot Praise God
16The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah ; But the earth hath he given to the children of men . 17The dead praise not Jehovah , Neither any that go down into silence ; 18But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore . Praise ye Jehovah .
