Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy and for your truth. Why should the nations say: Where's their God now? But our God is in the heavens. He's done whatever he wanted. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

Not to us

Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy and for your truth. Why should the nations say: Where's their God now? But our God is in the heavens. He's done whatever he wanted. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have a mouth and they don't speak. They have eyes and they don't see. They have ears but do not hear; they have noses but do not smell. They have hands and they don't handle anything. They have feet and they don't walk. There's no sound in their throat. Those who make them are like them, and so is everyone who trusts in them. Israel, trust in the LORD. He's their help and their shield. House of Aaron, trust in the LORD. He's their help and their shield. You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD. He's their help and their shield. The LORD has remembered us. He'll bless us. He'll bless the people of Israel. He'll bless the house of Aaron. He'll bless those who fear the LORD, small and great together. The LORD will keep adding to you — to you and to your children. You're blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's; but the earth he has given to the people. The dead don't praise the LORD, and none of those who go down into silence. But we'll bless the LORD from now on and forever. Praise the LORD.

Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name give the glory, for the sake of your faithful love and your truth. Why should the nations say: Where's their God now? But our God is in the heavens. He's done whatever he wanted. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They've got a mouth and they don't speak. They've got eyes and they don't see. They've got ears and they don't hear. They've got a nose and they don't smell. They've got hands and they don't handle anything. They've got feet and they don't walk. There's no sound in their throat. The ones who make them are like them, and so is everyone who trusts in them. Israel, trust in the Lord. He's their help and their shield. House of Aaron, trust in the Lord. He's their help and their shield. You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord. He's their help and their shield. The Lord has remembered us. He'll bless us. He'll bless the house of Israel. He'll bless the house of Aaron. He'll bless the ones who fear the Lord, small and great together. The Lord will keep adding to you — to you and to your children. You're blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth. The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth he's given to the sons of men. The dead don't praise the Lord, and none of the ones who go down into silence. But we'll bless the Lord from now on and forever. Praise the Lord.

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
