1 N ot to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

2 W hy do the nations say, `Where, pray, their God.

3 A nd our God in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

4 T heir idols silver and gold, work of man's hands,

5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

6 E ars they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

7 T heir hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

8 N or do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'

10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'

11 Y e fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'

12 J ehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

13 H e blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

14 J ehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

15 B lessed ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

16 T he heavens -- the heavens Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

17 T he dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

18 A nd we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
