1 Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
but do thou glory take
Unto thy name, ev'n for thy truth,
and for thy mercy's sake.
2 O wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is their God now gone?
3 But our God in the heavens is,
what pleased him he hath done.
4 Their idols silver are and gold,
work of men's hands they be.
5 Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
and eyes, but do not see;
6 Ears have they, but they do not hear;
noses, but savor not;
7 Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk;
nor speak they through their throat.
8 Like them their makers are, and all
on them their trust that build.
9 O Isr'el, trust thou in the Lord,
he is their help and shield.
10 O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield is he.
11 Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield he'll be.
12 The Lord of us hath mindful been,
and he will bless us still:
He will the house of Isr'el bless,
bless Aaron's house he will
13 Both small and great, that fear the Lord,
he will them surely bless.
14 The Lord will you, you and your seed,
aye more and more increase.
15 O blessèd are ye of the Lord,
who made the earth and heav'n.
16 The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns, are God's, but he
earth to men's sons hath giv'n.
17 The dead, nor who to silence go,
God's praise do not record.
18 But henceforth we for ever will
bless God. Praise ye the Lord.

earth to men’s sons hath giv’n.

God’s praise do not record.
18 But henceforth we for ever will
bless God. Praise ye the Lord.
Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P1231 Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
but do thou glory take
unto thy name, even for thy truth,
and for thy mercy’s sake.
2 O wherefore should the heathen say,
where is their God now gone?
3 But our God in the heavens is,
what pleased him he hath done.
4 Their idols silver are and gold,
work of men’s hands they be.
5 Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
and eyes, but they do not see,
6 ears have they, but they do not hear;
noses, but smell they not;
7 hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk;
nor speak they through their throat.
8 Like them their makers are, and all
on them their trust that build.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord,
he is their help and shield.
10 O Aaron’s house, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield is he.
11 Who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield is he.
12 The Lord of us hath mindful been,
and he will bless us still:
he will the house of Israel bless,
bless Aaron’s house he will.
13 Both small and great, that fear the Lord,
he will them surely bless.
14 The Lord will you, you and your seed,
aye more and more increase.
15 O blessed are ye of the Lord,
who made the earth and heaven.
16 The heavens are for the Lord, but earth
he to men’s sons hath given.
17 The dead praise not the Lord nor those
in grave that silent be;
18 him praise will we henceforth for aye.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P115a1 Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
But thou the glory take
Unto thy name, both for thy truth,
And for thy mercies sake.
2 For wherefore should the heathen say,
What's of their God become?
3 Our God is in the heav'ns, he hath
Whatever pleas'd him done.
4 Their idols silver are and gold,
Men's handy- work they be.
5 Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
And eyes, but do not see.
6 Ears have they, but they do not hear,
Nought smell their noses do.
7 Hands have they, but they handle no;
and feet but do not go
And nothing speak they thro' their throat.
8 Like unto them are they
Who do them make, and all who do
Their trust upon them stay.
9 O Isa'l trust thou in the Lord,
He is their help and shield.
10 O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord,
He is their help and shield.
11 Who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord,
He is their help and shield.
12 The Lord hath mindful been of us,
His blessing he will yield.
The house of Isra'l bless he will;
He Aaron's house will bless.
1e He will bless them who fear the Lord,
The greater with the less,
14 Jehovah unto you, to you
And to your sons shall aid.
15 You are the blessed of the Lord,
That heav'n and earth hath made.
16 The heav'n unto Jehovah doth
The heav'ns to him belong:
But he the earth distributed
The sons of men among.
17 The dead praise not the Lord, nor such
To silence as descend:
But as for us we'll bless the Lord
From henceforth without end.
