1 ¶ Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy and for thy truth.
2 W hy should the Gentiles say, Where is now their God?
3 B ut our God is in the heavens; he has made whatever he has desired.
4 T heir idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 T hey have mouths, but they shall never speak; they have eyes, but they shall never see:
6 T hey have ears, but they shall never hear; they have noses, but they shall never smell;
7 t hey have hands, but they shall never touch; they have feet, but they shall never walk; they shall never speak through their throat.
8 L et those that make them become like unto them, and every one that trusts in them.
9 ¶ O Israel, trust thou in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.
11 Y e that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.
12 T he LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will greatly bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 H e will bless those that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 T he LORD shall increase his blessing upon you more and more, upon you and your sons.
15 Y e are blessed of the LORD who made the heavens and earth.
16 T he heavens are the heavens of the LORD, but the earth he has given to the sons of Adam.
17 T he dead shall not praise JAH, neither any that go down into silence.
18 B ut we will bless JAH from this time forth and for evermore. Halelu-JAH.
