1 N ot to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.

2 W hy should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?”

3 B ut our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

7 T hey have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
