To Your Name Give Glory
1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
11Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
12The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

To Your Name Be the Glory
(Psalm 135:1–21)
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 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 fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
14 May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has he given to the children of men.
17 The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;
18 But we will bless Yah, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise Yah!
To Your Name Be the Glory
(Psalm 135:1–21)
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us,
but to Your name be the glory,
because of Your loving devotion,
because of Your faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
3 Our God is in heaven;
He does as He pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak;
they have eyes, but cannot see;
6 they have ears, but cannot hear;
they have noses, but cannot smell;
7 they have hands, but cannot feel;
they have feet, but cannot walk;
they cannot even clear their throats. a
8 Those who make them become like them,
as do all who trust in them.
9 O Israel, b trust in the LORD!
He is their help and shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and shield.
12 The LORD is mindful of us;
He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD—
small and great alike.
14 May the LORD give you increase,
both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD,
but the earth He has given to mankind.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD,
nor any who descend into silence.
18 But it is we who will bless the LORD,
both now and forevermore.
Hallelujah! c

To Your Name Give Glory
1Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, is their God.
3And our God is in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4Their idols are silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield is He.'
10O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield is He.'
11Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield is He.'
12Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15Blessed are ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16The heavens -- the heavens are Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
