Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Loʀᴅ.
1 AIs 48:11; Ezek 36:22Not to us, O Loʀᴅ, not to us,
But BPs 29:2; 96:8to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your 1Or faithfulnesstruth.
2 APs 79:10Why should the nations say,
“BPs 42:3, 10Where, now, is their God?”
3 But our APs 103:19God is in the heavens;
He BPs 135:6; Dan 4:35does whatever He pleases.
4 Their APs 115:4-8; 135:15-18; Jer 10:4idols are silver and gold,
The BDeut 4:28; 2 Kin 19:18; Is 37:19; 44:10, 20; Jer 10:3work of man’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they AJer 10:5cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 1Lit Their handsThey have hands, but they cannot feel;
2Lit Their feetThey have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8 APs 135:18; Is 44:9-11Those who make them 1Or are like themwill become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
 
9 O APs 118:2; 135:19Israel, BPs 37:3; 62:8trust in the Loʀᴅ;
He is their CPs 33:20help and their shield.
10 O house of APs 118:3; 135:19Aaron, trust in the Loʀᴅ;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who 1Or revereAPs 22:23; 103:11; 135:20fear the Loʀᴅ, trust in the Loʀᴅ;
He is their help and their shield.
12 The Loʀᴅ APs 98:3has been mindful of us; He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will APs 103:11; 112:1; 128:1bless those who 1Or reverefear the Loʀᴅ,
BRev 11:18; 19:5The small together with the great.
14 May the Loʀᴅ ADeut 1:11give you increase,
You and your children.
15 May you be blessed of the Loʀᴅ,
AGen 1:1; Neh 9:6; Ps 96:5; 102:25; 121:2; 124:8; 134:3; 146:6; Acts 14:15; Rev 14:7Maker of heaven and earth.
 
16 The heavens are APs 89:11the heavens of the Loʀᴅ,
But BPs 8:6the earth He has given to the sons of men.
17 The APs 6:5; 88:10-12; Is 38:18dead do not praise 1Heb Yᴀʜthe Loʀᴅ,
Nor do any who go down into BPs 31:17silence;
18 But as for us, we will APs 113:2; Dan 2:20bless 1Heb Yᴀʜthe Loʀᴅ
From this time forth and forever.
2Or Hallelujah!Praise 1Heb Yᴀʜthe Loʀᴅ!
