New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
1
Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2 Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?”
2
Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, [is] their God.
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
3
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4 But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
4
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
5
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6 They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.
6
Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7 They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
7
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
8
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 All you Israelites, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield.
9
O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.'
10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.'
11 You who fear him, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield.
11
Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.'
12 The LORD remembers us and will bless us: He will bless his people Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,
12
Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13 he will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
13
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 May the LORD cause you to flourish, both you and your children.
14
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
15
Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind.
16
The heavens -- the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to the place of silence;
17
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18 it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD.
18
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
