To Your Name Give Glory

 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

² Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
³ Our God is in the heavens;
he does all that he pleases.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
   the work of human hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but do not speak;
   eyes, but do not see.
⁶ They have ears, but do not hear;
   noses, but do not smell.
⁷ They have hands, but do not feel;
   feet, but do not walk;
   and they do not make a sound in their throat.
⁸ Those who make them become like them;
   so do all who trust in them.

⁹ O Israel,^[a] trust 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 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.

¹² The Lord has remembered 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,
both the small and the great.

¹⁴ May the Lord give you increase,
you and your children!
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!

¹⁶ The heavens are the Lord's heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
¹⁷ The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any who go down into silence.
¹⁸ But we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the Lord!
