Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth. |
2. |
Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, `is' their God. |
3. |
And our God `is' in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done. |
4. |
Their idols `are' silver and gold, work of man's hands, |
5. |
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, |
6. |
Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not, |
7. |
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not; |
8. |
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them. |
9. |
O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.' |
10. |
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.' |
11. |
Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.' |
12. |
Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron, |
13. |
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great. |
14. |
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons. |
15. |
Blessed `are' ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth, |
16. |
The heavens -- the heavens `are' Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men, |
17. |
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence. |
18. |
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah! |
