| 2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? | 2Why let the nations say, “Where is their God?” |

| 5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: | 5They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. |
| 6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: | 6They have ears but cannot hear, and 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 feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound. |
| 8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. | 8And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. |

| 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 us and will bless us. He will bless the people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron. |
| 13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. | 13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both great and lowly. |

| 15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. | 15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
| 16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. | 16The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity. |
| 17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. | 17The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave. |
| 18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. | 18But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD! |
