Your name, O LORD, endures forever;
Your fame, O LORD, is known to every generation.
For the LORD will give justice to his people
and have compassion on his servants.

The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold,
shaped by human hands.
They have mouths but cannot speak,
and eyes but cannot see.
They have ears but cannot hear,
and mouths but cannot breathe.
And those who make idols are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.
Psalm 135:13-18

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
