1. We don't deserve praise!The Lord alone deservesall the praise,because of his loveand faithfulness.
2. Why should the nations ask,“Where is your God?”
3. Our God is in the heavens,doing as he chooses.
4. The idols of the nationsare made of silver and gold.
5. They have a mouth and eyes,but they can't speak or see.
6. Their ears can't hear,and their noses can't smell.
7. Their hands have no feeling,their legs don't move,and they can't make a sound.
8. Everyone who made the idolsand all who trust themare just as helplessas those useless gods.
9. People of Israel,you must trust the Lordto help and protect you.
10. Family of Aaron the priest,you must trust the Lordto help and protect you.
11. All of you worship the Lord,so you must trust himto help and protect you.
12. The Lord will not forgetto give us his blessing;he will bless all Israeland the family of Aaron.
13. All who worship the Lord,no matter who they are,will receive his blessing.
14. I pray that the Lordwill let your familyand your descendantsalways grow strong.
