¹ Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth; ² lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God? ³ But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased. ⁴ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands. ⁵ They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see: ⁶ they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell; ⁷ they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat. ⁸ Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

⁹ The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender. ¹⁰ The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender. ¹¹ They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender. ¹² The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron. ¹³ He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great. ¹⁴ The Lord add blessings to you and to your children. ¹⁵ Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth. ¹⁶ The heaven of heavens belongs to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men. ¹⁷ The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades. ¹⁸ But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
