2Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” | 2Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?" |

5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; | 5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. |
6they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; | 6They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell. |
7they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. | 7They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats. |
8Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. | 8Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them. |
9O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. | 9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. |

12The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron; | 12The LORD remembers and blesses us. He will indeed bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. |
13He will bless those who fear the LORD—small and great alike. | 13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both the important and the insignificant together. |
14May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children. | 14May the LORD add to your numbers— to you and to your descendants. |
15May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | 15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth. |
16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind. | 16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but he gave the earth to human beings. |
17It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence. | 17Neither can the dead praise the LORD, nor those who go down into the silence of death. |
18But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah! | 18But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah! |
