1 N ot unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth's sake.
Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

Their idols silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5 T hey have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7 T hey have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 T hey that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

16 T he heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The heavens -- the heavens Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 T he dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18 B ut we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
