Glory be to your name

(Psalm 135:1-21)
1
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
2
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3
Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
4
Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
6
they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
7
they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.(a)
8
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
9
O Israel,(b) trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
11
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
12
The LORD is 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 those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
14
May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
15
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
17
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
18
But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!(c)

Glory be to your name

(Psalm 135:1-21)
1
Not to us, LORD, 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 the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
10
House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
11
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
12
The LORD 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 the LORD, both small and great.
14
May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
15
Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
16
The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17
The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence,
18
but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
