To Your Name Be the Glory

¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.² Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”³ Our God is in heaven and He does as He pleases.⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.⁵ They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;⁶ they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;⁷ they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk. They cannot even clear their throats.⁸ Those who make them will be like them, as will all who trust in them.

⁹ O Israel^(a), trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.¹¹ You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.¹² The LORD is 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—small and great alike.¹⁴ May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.¹⁵ May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.¹⁶ The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.¹⁷ It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.^{18 (a)}But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
