¹ (113-9) Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.² (113-10) For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?³ (113-11) But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.⁴ (113-12) The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.⁵ (113-13) They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.⁶ (113-14) They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.⁷ (113-15) They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.⁸ (113-16) Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.

⁹ (113-17) The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.¹⁰ (113-18) The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.¹¹ (113-19) They that fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.¹² (113-20) 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 (113-21) He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.¹⁴ (113-22) May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.¹⁵ (113-23) Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.¹⁶ (113-24) The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.¹⁷ (113-25) The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.¹⁸ (113-26) But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
