Glory be to your name
(Psalm 135:1-21)
1
Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
2
For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
3
But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
4
The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5
They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
6
They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.
7
They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.
8
Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.
9
The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
10
The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
11
They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
12
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
13
He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.
14
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.
15
Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16
The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.
17
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.
18
But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
