¹ Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
because of your loyal love,
because of your faithfulness.
² Why should the nations say,
"Where, pray tell,^[a] is their God?"
³ But our God is in the heavens;
all that he desires, he does.
⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
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 their hands, but they cannot feel,
their feet, but they cannot walk;
they cannot utter a sound in their throats.
⁸ Those who make them become like them,
as does everyone who trusts in them.
⁹ O Israel, trust Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
¹¹ You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
¹² Yahweh remembers 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 Yahweh,
the small with the great.
¹⁴ May Yahweh give you increase,
you and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
¹⁶ The heavens are Yahweh's heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of humankind.
¹⁷ The dead do not praise Yah,^[b]
nor any descending into silence.
¹⁸ It is we, we will bless Yah^[c]
from now until forever.
Praise Yah!^[d]
