Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise: for thy loving mercy and for thy truth's sake.
Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where is now their God?
As for our God, he is in heaven: he hath done whatsoever pleased him.
Their idols are silver and gold: even the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, and speak not: eyes have they, and see not.
They have ears, and hear not: noses have they, and smell not.
They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
They that make them are like unto them: and so are all such as put their trust in them.
But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their succour and defence.
Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Ye that fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us: even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron.
He shall bless them that fear the Lord: both small and great.
The Lord shall increase you more and more: you and your children.
Ye are the blessed of the Lord: who made heaven and earth.
All the whole heavens are the Lord's: the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The dead praise not thee, O Lord: neither all they that go down into silence.
But we will praise the Lord: from this time forth for evermore. Praise the Lord.
