1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Why should the nations say,
"Where is their God, now?"
3 But our God is in the heavens.
He does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak.
They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6 They have ears, but they don’t hear.
They have noses, but they don’t smell.
7 They have hands, but they don’t feel.
They have feet, but they don’t walk,
neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Those who make them will be like them;
yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel.
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
both small and great.
14 May Yahweh increase you more and more,
you and your children.
15 Blessed are you by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17 The dead don’t praise Yah,
nor any who go down into silence,
18 but we will bless Yah,
from this time forward and forever more.
Praise Yah!
1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy [and] for thy truth.
2 Why should the Gentiles say, Where [is] now their God?
3 But our God [is] in the heavens; he has made whatever he has desired.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they shall never speak; they have eyes, but they shall never see:
6 They have ears, but they shall never hear; they have noses, but they shall never smell;
7 they have hands, but they shall never touch; they have feet, but they shall never walk; they shall never speak through their throat.
8 [Let] those that make them become like unto them, [and] every one that trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD; he [is] your help and your shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; he [is] your help and your shield.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; he [is] your help and your shield.
12 The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless [us]; he will greatly bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.
14 The LORD shall increase his blessing upon you more and more, upon you and your sons.
15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD who made the heavens and earth.
16 The heavens [are] the heavens of the LORD, but the earth he has given to the sons of Adam.
17 The dead shall not praise JAH, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless JAH from this time forth and for evermore. Halelu-JAH.:
