R (9a) The house of Israel trusts in the Lord.
Or: Alleluia.
Our God is in heaven;
whatever he wills, he does.
Their idols are silver and gold,
the handiwork of men. R
They have mouths but speak not;
they have eyes but see not;
They have ears but hear not;
they have noses but smell not. R
They have hands but feel not;
they have feet but walk not.
Their makers shall be like them,
everyone that trusts in them. R
Alleluia, alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the Lord;/ I know my sheep, and mine know me. Alleluia, alleluia.
