Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
Rather to your name give glory;
For your steadfast love as thus,
Lord God who is exemplary.
Of such love that is faithfulness,
Others wonder where is their God;
There is nothing to them will bless,
Because of it being a fraud.
Our God is up in the Heaven,
He does to all that He pleases;
All the blessings He has given,
Anxiety and stress eases.
Their idols are silver and gold,
Created work of human hands;
They have mouths but have never told,
The people of what their demands.
They have mouths but can never speak,
They have eyes but can never see;
The people come but cannot seek,
Guidance of the things that shall be.
They have noses but cannot smell,
They have ears but can never hear;
They cannot walk from where they dwell,
Approaching them nothing to fear.
They have hands but can never touch,
They have feet but can never walk;
No sound can be made in as much,
From their throat unable to talk.
Those who make them become like them,
So, do all who will put their trust;
Not aware that God will condemn,
For idolatry that they lust.
All of you must trust in the Lord,
He is your help and is your shield;
Let His commands be not ignored,
Blessings be abundant yield.
Everyone in the Lord trust,
He is your help and renders aid;
Because He is faithful and just,
Calms your fears be not afraid.
For you who are fearing the Lord,
Give Him your confidence and trust;
So, you can be in one accord,
Enabled to avoid the lust.
