1. Not to us, O lord, not to us,but to your name goes all the gloryfor your unfailing love and faithfulness.
2. Why let the nations say,“Where is their God?”
3. Our God is in the heavens,and he does as he wishes.
4. Their idols are merely things of silver and gold,shaped by human hands.
5. They have mouths but cannot speak,and eyes but cannot see.
6. They have ears but cannot hear,and noses but cannot smell.
7. They have hands but cannot feel,and feet but cannot walk,and throats but cannot make a sound.
8. And those who make idols are just like them,as are all who trust in them.
9. O Israel, trust the lord!He is your helper and your shield.
