1. NOT TO us, O Lord, not to us but to Your name give glory, for Your mercy and loving-kindness and for the sake of Your truth and faithfulness!
2. Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
3. But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.
4. The idols of the nations 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 can they make a sound with their throats.
8. They who make idols are like them; so are all who trust in and lean on them. [Ps. 135:15-18.]
9. O Israel, trust and take refuge in the Lord! [Lean on, rely on, and be confident in Him!] He is their Help and their Shield.
10. O house of Aaron [the priesthood], trust in and lean on the Lord! He is their Help and their Shield.
11. You who [reverently] fear the Lord, trust in and lean on the Lord! He is their Help and their Shield.
12. The Lord has been mindful of us, He will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron [the priesthood],
13. He will bless those who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord, both small and great. [Ps. 103:11; Rev. 11:18; 19:5.]
14. May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children.
