Your relay is just a switch that seperates a small circuit from a big one.

If the relay is clicking, but the fuel pump isn't whining, then start checking your fuel pump wiring.

You most likely don't have to replace the main relay. You can just resolder the joints (just heat them up until they melt, don't even need to add solder) and it should work again.

there are two common causes of no fuel pump in hondas.
main relay problem (very common problem)
it can be repaired if you can solder.

bad cap in ECU (growing more and more common)
again can be replaced if you can solder.
