 O, your Name is everlasting; * your renown, O, endures from age to age.

For the gives his people justice * and shows compassion to his servants.

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, * the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but they cannot speak; * eyes have they, but they cannot see.

They have ears, but they cannot hear; * neither is there any breath in their mouth.

Those who make them are like them, * and so are all who put their trust in them.

Bless the, O house of Israel; * O house of Aaron, bless the.

Bless the, O house of Levi; * you who fear the, bless the.

Blessed be the out of Zion, * who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the, for he is good, * for his mercy endures for ever.

Give thanks to the God of gods, * for his mercy endures for ever.
