[1]NOT unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory for thy mercy and for thy truth's sake.
[2]Wherefore the Gentiles have no cause to say, Where is now their God?
[3]But our God is in the heavens; he has done whatever he pleased.
[4]The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
[5]They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
[6]They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
[7]They have hands, but they feel not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throats.
[8]Let them that make them become like them; and every one that trusts in them.
[9]The house of Israel trusts in the LORD; he is their help and their shield.
[10]The house of Aaron trusts in the LORD; he is their help and their shield.
[11]You who reverence the LORD, trust in the LORD; he is their help and their shield.
[12]The LORD has been mindful of us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
[13]The LORD will bless them that worship him, both small and great.
[14]The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children.
[15]You are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
[16]The heavens, even the heavens, are the LORD'S; but the earth has he given to the children of men.
[17]The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into darkness.
[18]But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
