To Your Name Be the Glory 1Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, 2Why should the nations say, 3Our God is in heaven; 4Their idols are silver and gold, 5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; 6they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; 7they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.a 8Those who make them become like them, 9O Israel,b trust in the LORD! 10O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! 11You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! 12The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron; 13He will bless those who fear the LORD— 14May the LORD give you increase, 15May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind. 17It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence. 18But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!c Footnotes: 7 a Literally they cannot utter with their throat 9 b MT; many Hebrew manuscripts, LXX, and Syriac O house of Israel 18 c Or Hallelu YAH , meaning Praise the LORD The Berean Bible (www.Berean.Bible) Berean Study Bible (BSB) © 2016, 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.
