CLV(i)
1 Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, On account of Your benignity, Your faithfulness."
2 Why should the nations say, Where, pray, is their Elohim?
3 Indeed our Elohim is in the heavens; All that He desires, He does."
4 Their fetishes are silver and gold, The work of human hands;"
5 They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;"
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have a nose, but they cannot smell;"
7 Their hands, they cannot feel with them; Their feet, they cannot walk with them; They cannot even mumble in their throat."
8 Like them, may their makers become, All who are trusting in them."
9 House of Israel, trust in Yahweh; He is their Help and their Shield."
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; He is their Help and their Shield."
11 You who are fearing Yahweh, trust in Yahweh; He is their Help and their Shield."
12 Yahweh, He remembers us; He shall bless us; He shall bless the house of Israel; He shall bless the house of Aaron;"
13 He shall bless those fearing Yahweh, The small with the great."
14 May Yahweh add to you, To you and to your sons."
15 Blessed be you by Yahweh, Maker of the heavens and earth."
16 The heavens are Yahweh's heavens, Yet He has given the earth to the sons of humanity."
17 The dead cannot praise Yah, Nor all those descending into stillness."
18 But we, we the living, shall bless Yah, Henceforth and unto the eon. Praise Yah!"
