English Translation

Not to us, O ETERNAL One, not to us
but to Your name bring glory
for the sake of Your love and Your faithfulness. Let the nations not say,
“Where, now, is their God?” when our God is in heaven
and whatever [God] wants is accomplished. aCf. Ps. 135.15–20. Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see; they have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell; they have hands, but cannot touch,
feet, but cannot walk;
they can make no sound in their throats. Those who fashion them,
all who trust in them,
shall become like them. O Israel, trust in GOD
who is yourbyour Heb. “their.” help and shield. O house of Aaron, trust in GOD
who is yourcyour See note at v. 9. help and shield. O you who fear GOD, trust in GOD
who is yourdyour See note at v. 9. help and shield. GOD, mindful of us, will bless us—
blessing the house of Israel,
blessing the house of Aaron, and blessing those who revere GOD,
small and great alike. May GOD increase your numbers,
yours and your children’s also. May you be blessed by GOD,
Maker of heaven and earth. The heavens belong to GOD,
but the earth was given over to humankind. The dead cannot praise Yah,eYah See note at 68.5.
nor any who go down into silence. But we will bless Yah
now and forever.
Hallelujah.
