¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.² Why should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?³ But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased.⁴ Their idols [are] silver and gold; the work of men's hands.⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:⁶ They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:⁷ They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.⁸ They that make them are like them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.

⁹ O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.¹¹ Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.¹² The LORD hath 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 bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.¹⁴ The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children.¹⁵ Ye [are] blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.¹⁶ The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.¹⁷ The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.¹⁸ But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD.
