Our God is in heaven
and does whatever He pleases.

Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to Your name give glory
because of Your faithful love, because of Your truth.

The heavens are the Lord’s,
but the earth He has given to the human race.

It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

Their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.

May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

They have ears but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.

The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron;

Those who make them are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.

He will bless those who fear the Lord—
small and great alike.

You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.

Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.

May the Lord add to your numbers,
both yours and your children’s.

Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”

But we will praise the Lord,
both now and forever.
Hallelujah!

They have mouths but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.

They have hands but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk.
They cannot make a sound with their throats.

House of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.
