Glory be to your name

(Psalm 135:1-21)
1
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.
2
Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”(b)
3
But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
4
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5
They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
6
They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.
7
They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
8
Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
9
The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
10
The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
11
Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
12
The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has blessed us. He has blessed the house of Israel. He has blessed the house of Aaron.
13
He has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.
14
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.
15
Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16
The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17
The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell.
18
But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.

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!
