The Futility of Idols and the Trustworthiness of God

1 Not ^aunto us, O Lord, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth.

2 Why should the¹ Gentiles say,
^a“So where is their God?”

3 ^aBut our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases.

4 ^aTheir idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;

6 They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;

7 They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.

8 ^aThose who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.

9 ^aO Israel, trust in the Lord;
^bHe is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
