1Not unto us, O YHWH, not unto us, But unto Thy name give glory, For Thy mercy, and for Thy truth’s sake.

2Wherefore should the nations say: ‘Where is now their God?’

3But our God is in the heavens; Whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.

4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.

5They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

6They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

7They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they with their throat.

8They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

9O Israel, trust thou in YHWH! He is their help and their shield!

10O house of Aaron, trust ye in YHWH! He is their help and their shield!

11Ye that fear YHWH, trust in YHWH! He is their help and their shield.

12YHWH hath been mindful of us, He will bless— He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless them that fear YHWH, Both small and great.

14YHWH increase you more and more, You and your children.

15Blessed be ye of YHWH Who made heaven and earth.

16The heavens are the heavens of YHWH; But the earth hath He given to the children of men.

17The dead praise not YHWH, Neither any that go down into silence;

18But we will bless Yah From this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.
