1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give the praise, for thy loving mercy and faithfulness.
2Wherefore shall the Heathen say: Where is now their God?
3As for our God, he is in heaven, he doth whatsoever it pleaseth him.
4Their images are but silver and gold, even the work of men's hands.
5They have mouths, and speak not: eyes have they, but they see not.
6They have ears, and hear not: noses have they, but they smell not.
7They have hands and handle not, feet have they, but they can not go, neither can they speak thorow their throat.
8They that make them, are like unto them, and so are all such as put their trust in them.
9But let Israel trust in the LORD, for he is their succour and defense.
10Let the house of Aaron put their trust in the LORD, for he is their succour and defense.
11They that fear the LORD, let them put their trust in the LORD, for he is their succour and defense.
12The LORD is mindful of us, and blesseth us: he blesseth the house of Israel, he blesseth the house of Aaron.
13Yea he blesseth all them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14The LORD increase you more and more: you and your children.
15For ye are the blessed of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
16All the whole heavens are the LORD's, but the earth hath he given unto the children of men.
17The dead praise not thee (O LORD) neither all they that go down into silence.
18But we will praise thee LORD, from this time forth for evermore. Praise the everlasting.(Halleluya.)
