To Your Name Be the Glory
(Psalms 135:1–21)
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, Psa 79:9-10Isa 48:11Psa 96:8Ezk 20:14Ezk 36:32Eph 1:6Ezk 36:22Dan 9:19
but to Your name be the glory,
because of Your loving devotion,
because of Your faithfulness.
Why should the nations say, Psa 42:3Psa 79:10Psa 42:10Exo 32:12Jol 2:17Deu 32:26-27Num 14:15-162Ki 19:10-19
“Where is their God?”
Our God is in heaven; Psa 135:6Dan 4:35Isa 46:10Eph 1:11Psa 103:19Rom 9:19Psa 2:4Psa 123:1
He does as He pleases.
Their idols are silver and gold, Deu 4:28Isa 46:6-7Jer 10:3-5Isa 40:19-20Hab 2:18-20Isa 44:10Isa 46:1-2Act 19:26
made by the hands of men.
They have mouths, but cannot speak; Jer 10:5
they have eyes, but cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear;
they have noses, but cannot smell;
they have hands, but cannot feel;
they have feet, but cannot walk;
they cannot even clear their throats. 1
Those who make them become like them, Psa 135:18Hab 2:18-19Jer 10:8Jon 2:8Isa 44:9-20
as do all who trust in them.
O Israel, 2 trust in the LORD! Psa 62:8Psa 37:3Pro 30:5Psa 118:2-4Psa 135:19-20Deu 33:29Psa 146:5-6Psa 33:20-21
He is their help and shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! Psa 118:3Exo 28:1Num 16:40Num 16:5Num 18:7
He is their help and shield.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! Pro 14:26Act 10:35Pro 30:5Psa 103:11Psa 147:11Rev 19:5Psa 22:23Psa 33:18
He is their help and shield.
The LORD is mindful of us; Eph 1:3Psa 136:23Isa 44:21Gen 12:2-3Isa 49:14-16Psa 25:7Psa 67:7Exo 2:24-25
He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron;
He will bless those who fear the LORD— Psa 112:1Luk 1:50Psa 128:1Psa 128:4-5Psa 29:11Rev 19:5Mal 4:2Rev 11:18
small and great alike.
May the LORD give you increase, Deu 1:11Act 2:39Act 3:25Jer 33:22Gen 17:72Sa 24:3Gen 13:16Jer 30:19
both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the LORD, Psa 134:3Rev 14:7Gen 1:1Gen 14:19Psa 121:2Psa 96:51Pe 3:9Act 14:15
the Maker of heaven and earth.
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, Psa 8:6Psa 89:11Gen 1:28-30Jer 27:5-6Gen 9:1-3Deu 32:8Isa 66:1Psa 144:5
but the earth He has given to mankind.
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, Psa 6:5Isa 38:18-19Psa 88:10-12Psa 30:9Psa 31:171Sa 2:9
nor any who descend into silence.
But it is we who will bless the LORD, Psa 113:2Dan 2:20Psa 145:21Rev 5:13Psa 145:2Psa 118:17-19
both now and forevermore.
Hallelujah! 3
