psalm

¶ Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy and for thy truth.

Why should the Gentiles say, Where is now their God?

But our God is in the heavens; he has made whatever he has desired.

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

They have mouths, but they shall never speak; they have eyes, but they shall never see:

They have ears, but they shall never hear; they have noses, but they shall never smell;

they have hands, but they shall never touch; they have feet, but they shall never walk; they shall never speak through their throat.

Let those that make them become like unto them, and every one that trusts in them.

¶ O Israel, trust thou in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.

11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.

12 The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will greatly bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless those that fear the LORD, both small and great.

14 The LORD shall increase his blessing upon you more and more, upon you and your sons.

15 Ye are blessed of the LORD who made the heavens and earth.

16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, but the earth he has given to the sons of Adam.

17 The dead shall not praise JAH, neither any that go down into silence.

18 But we will bless JAH from this time forth and for evermore. Halelu-JAH.
