| King James Bible | International Standard Version |
| 1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. | 1Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be given glory on account of your gracious love and faithfulness. |
| 2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? | 2Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?" |
| 3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. | 3when our God is in the heavens and he does whatever he desires? |
| 4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. | 4Their idols are silver and gold, crafted by human hands. |
| 5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: | 5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. |
| 6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: | 6They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell. |
| 7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. | 7They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats. |
| 8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. | 8Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them. |
| 9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | 9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. |

| 11Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | 11You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. |
| 12The LORD hath been 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 them that fear the LORD, both small and great. | 13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both the important and the insignificant together. |
| 14The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. | 14May the LORD add to your numbers— to you and to your descendants. |
| 15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. | 15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth. |
| 16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. | 16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but he gave the earth to human beings. |
| 17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. | 17Neither can the dead praise the LORD, nor those who go down into the silence of death. |
| 18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. | 18But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah! |
