2. Why should the nations say,“Where is their God?”
3. Our God is in heavenand does whatever he wills.
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;they produce no sound from their throats.
8. Their makers will be like them,and anyone who trusts in them.
9. The house of Israel trusts in the Lord,who is their help and shield.
10. The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord,who is their help and shield.
11. Those who fear the Lord trust in the Lord,who is their help and shield.
12. The Lord remembers us and will bless us,will bless the house of Israel,will bless the house of Aaron,
13. Will bless those who fear the Lord,small and great alike.
14. May the Lord increase your number,yours and your descendants.
15. May you be blessed by the Lord,maker of heaven and earth.
16. The heavens belong to the Lord,but he has given the earth to the children of Adam.
17. The dead do not praise the Lord,not all those go down into silence.
18. It is we who bless the Lord,both now and forever.Hallelujah!
