| Heathen Idols contrasted with Jehovah. |
|
| |
|
1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,
But unto thy name give glory,
For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth's sake.
|
|
2 Wherefore should the nations say,
Where is now their God?
|
|
3 But our God is in the heavens:
He hath done whatsoever he pleased.
|
|
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men's hands.
|
|
5 They have mouths, but they speak not;
Eyes have they, but they see not;
|
|
6 They have ears, but they hear not;
Noses have they, but they smell not;
|
|
7 They have hands, but they handle not;
Feet have they, but they walk not;
Neither speak they through their throat.
|
|
8 They that make them shall be like unto them;
Yes, every one that trusteth in them.
|
|
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
|
|
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah;
He is their help and their shield.
|
|
11 Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
|
|
12 Jehovah hath 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 bless them that fear Jehovah,
Both the small and the great.
|
|
14 Jehovah increase you more and more,
You and your children.
|
|
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah,
Who made the heavens and earth.
|
|
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;
But the earth hath he given to the children of men.
|
|
17 The dead praise not Jehovah,
Neither any that go down into silence;
|
|
18 But we will bless Jehovah
From this time forth and for evermore.
Praise ye Jehovah. |
