²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

¹ Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

² Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

³ But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

⁶ They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

⁷ They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

⁸ They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

⁹ O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹¹ Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹² The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³ He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

¹⁴ The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹⁵ Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

¹⁷ The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

¹⁸ But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
