1 Not to us, Lord, not to us,
but to your name give the glory, ♦︎
for the sake of your loving mercy and truth.
2 Why should the nations say, ♦︎
Where is now their God?
3 As for our God, he is in heaven; ♦︎
he does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, ♦︎
the work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; ♦︎
eyes have they, but cannot see;
6 They have ears, but cannot hear; ♦︎
noses have they, but cannot smell;
7 They have hands, but cannot feel;
feet have they, but cannot walk; ♦︎
not a whisper do they make from their throats.
8 Those who make them shall become like them ♦︎
and so will all who put their trust in them.
9 But you, Israel, put your trust in the Lord; ♦︎
he is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord; ♦︎
he is their help and their shield.
11 You that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; ♦︎
he is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord has been mindful of us and he will bless us; ♦︎
may he bless the house of Israel;
may he bless the house of Aaron;
13 May he bless those who fear the Lord, ♦︎
both small and great together.
14 May the Lord increase you more and more, ♦︎
you and your children after you.
15 May you be blest by the Lord, ♦︎
the maker of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, ♦︎
but the earth he has entrusted to his children.
17 The dead do not praise the Lord, ♦︎
nor those gone down into silence;
18 But we will bless the Lord, ♦︎
from this time forth for evermore.
Alleluia.

48 The Jews answered him, Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon? 49Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honour my Father, and you dishonour me. 50Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he is the judge. 51Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death. 52The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, Whoever keeps my word will never taste death. 53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to be? 54Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, he of whom you say, He is our God, 55though you do not know him. But I know him; if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and I keep his word. 56Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; he saw it and was glad. 57Then the Jews said to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?* 58Jesus said to them, Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am. 59So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
