1 | Not to us, Yahweh, 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 Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. |
10 | House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. |
11 | You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. |
12 | Yahweh 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 Yahweh, both small and great. |
14 | May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children. |
15 | Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. |
16 | The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has he given to the children of men. |
17 | The dead don't praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence; |
18 | But we will bless Yah, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise Yah! Psalm 116 |
