Gods people have no idols

Not to us , O Lord , not to us
but to your name be the glory,
for the sake of your love and faithfulness.
Why should the pagans say.
Where is their God ?

There in heaven is our God ;
Whatever he wishes, he does.
Not so the handmade idols,
crafted in silver and gold.

They have mouth that cannot speak,
eyes that cannot see,
ears that cannot hear,
noses that cannot smell.

They have hands but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk;
neither can they make a sound in their throat.
so will all who trust in them.

O Israel, trust in the Lord ;
he is your help and your shield!
You who fear in the Lord trust in him;
he is your help and your shield!

The Lord remembers us and bless us;
He will bless those who fear  the Lord,
both the small and the great.

Heaven belongs to the Lord,
But the earth he has given to humans,
It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
for they have gone down to silence;
but it is we , the living, who blessed the Lord,
from now on and forever.
