115

Not to us, Lord, not to us
But to Your name be the glory
Because of Your love and faithfulness
Because You take away our worries

Why do the nations say
“Where is their God?”
Our God is in heaven
He does whatever pleases him, does with His word

But their idols are silver and gold
Made by human hands in hope they seek
They have Eyes, but cannot see
Mouths, but cannot speak

They have noses, but cannot smell
Ears, but cannot hear
They have feet, but cannot walk
Hands, but cannot feel

Nor can they utter a sound with their throats
Those who make them will be like them
Nor can they love with their hearts
And so will all who trust in them

All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—
He is their help and shield
House of Aaron, trust in the Lord—
He is their help and shield

You who fear him, trust in the Lord—
He is their help and shield
He is the one who deserves all the love
He is the one to be feared

The Lord remembers us and will bless us:
He will bless His people Israel and ‘ll save from all the strikes
He will bless the house of Aaron
He will bless those who fear the Lord— small and great alike

May the Lord cause you to flourish
Both you and your children
May you be blessed by the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth which He ruled and will run

The highest heavens belong to the Lord
But the earth He has given to mankind
It is not the dead who praise the Lord
Those who go down to the place of silence, who is hard to find

It is we who extol the Lord
Both now and forevermore
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord altogether more
