1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth. Not unto us – An exhortation to humility. R5901:1 Psalms 115:6

But they smell not – Ruach, exert invisible power--sense of smell. E174


2 Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.
3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13 He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 The heavens the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men, The children of men – As represented by father Adam, and conditioned upon obedience and loyalty. R5335:5

God's guidance in the affairs of earth was originally intended. R5304:3

The race as a whole will have possession of the earth. R5183:1, R5112:1

God would have the prosperous concentrate their mental powers not upon the personal aggregation of wealth, but upon generous schemes for the uplifting of the entire race. R5112:5


17 The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence. The dead praise not – But the resurrection of the dead will bring all to a full knowledge of the truth. R890:1

Down into silence – "There is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave" (Eccl. 9:10); not a place where shrieks and groans are heard. R2599:2, R2604:4

Death is a place of darkness (Job 10:21); of no remembrance (Psa. 6:5); a land of forgetfulness (Psa. 88:11) where there is neither work, nor device, nor wisdom, nor knowledge (Eccl. 9:5,10; Job 14:21). CR209:2*; HG194:5; HG216:2


18 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
