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! |
