• The Futility of Idols and the Trustworthiness of God

  • 1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.
  • 2 Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?”
  • 3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.
  • 4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
  • 5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;
  • 6 They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;
  • 7 They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.
  • 8 Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.
  • 9 O Israel, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.
  • 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.
  • 11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.
  • 12 The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
  • 13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great.
  • 14 May the Lord give you increase more and more, You and your children.
  • 15 May you be blessed by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
  • 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.
  • 17 The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence.
  • 18 But we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord!
