King James Version KJV
1 Not to us, ADONAI, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your grace and truth.
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 Why should the nations ask, "Where is their God?"
2
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
3
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4 Their idols are mere silver and gold, made by human hands.
4
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they can't speak; they have eyes, but they can't see;
5
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 they have ears, but they can't hear; they have noses, but they can't smell;
6
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 they have hands, but they can't feel; they have feet, but they can't walk; with their throats they can't make a sound.
7
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 The people who make them will become like them, along with everyone who trusts in them.
8
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 Isra'el, trust in ADONAI! He is their help and shield.
9
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aharon, trust in ADONAI! He is their help and shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear ADONAI, trust in ADONAI! He is their help and shield.
11
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
12 ADONAI has kept us in mind, and he will bless. He will bless the house of Isra'el; he will bless the house of Aharon;
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 those who fear ADONAI, great and small alike.
13
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 May ADONAI increase your numbers, both yours and those of your children.
14
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by ADONAI, the maker of heaven and earth.
15
Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
16 Heaven belongs to ADONAI, but the earth he has given to humankind.
16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead can't praise ADONAI, not those who sink down into silence.
17
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless ADONAI from now on and forever. Halleluyah!
18
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
