^1 (a)Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But ^(b)to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your ^[a]truth.
^2 (c)Why should the nations say,
"^(d)Where, now, is their God?"
³ But our ^(e)God is in the heavens;
He ^(f)does whatever He pleases.
⁴ Their ^(g)idols are silver and gold,
The ^(h)work of man's hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but they ⁽ⁱ⁾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 [b]They have hands, but they cannot feel;
^[c]They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
^8 (j)Those who make them ^[d]will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.

⁹ O ^(k)Israel, ^(l)trust in the Lord;
He is their ^(m)help and their shield.
¹⁰ O house of ⁽ⁿ⁾Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
¹¹ You who ^[e](o)fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
¹² The Lord ^(p)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 ^(q)bless those who ^[f]fear the Lord,
^(r)The small together with the great.
¹⁴ May the Lord ^(s)give you increase,
You and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed of the Lord,
^(t)Maker of heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The heavens are ^(u)the heavens of the Lord,
But ^(v)the earth He has given to the sons of men.
¹⁷ The ^(w)dead do not praise ^[g]the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into ^(x)silence;
¹⁸ But as for us, we will ^(y)bless ^[h]the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
^[i]Praise ^[j]the Lord!
