1: Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give
glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. |
|
2: Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
|
|
3:
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath
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 unto 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 shall increase you more and more, you and your
children. |
|
15: Ye are blessed of the LORD which 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
evermore. Praise the LORD. |
