The Futility of Idols and the Trustworthiness of God1Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.
2Why should the [a]Gentiles say, “So where is their God?”
3But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.
4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
5They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;
6They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;
7They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.
8Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.
9O Israel, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.
11You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.
12The Lord [b]has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great.
14May the Lord give you increase more and more, You and your children.
15May you be blessed by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
16The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.
17The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence.
18But we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forevermore. The Holy Bible, New King James Version, Copyright © 1982 Thomas Nelson. All rights reserved.
