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 should the heathen say, Where is now their God? | |
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. | |
4 Their idols 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 handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. | |
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. | |
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | |
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | |
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | |
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. | |
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. | |
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. | |
15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. | |
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. | |
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. | |
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. | |
