Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing 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 let the nations say, “Where is their God?”
2
Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, [is] their God.
3 Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.
3
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.
4
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5 They have mouths but cannot speak, and 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, and 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, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.
7
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 And those who make idols are just like them, as are 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 O Israel, trust the LORD ! He is your helper and your shield.
9
O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.'
10 O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD ! He is your helper and your shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.'
11 All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD ! He is your helper and your 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 the people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants 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, both great and lowly.
13
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 May the LORD richly bless both you and your children.
14
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
15
Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity.
16
The heavens -- the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.
17
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD !
18
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
