NET Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew Living Translation
1Not to us, O LORD, not to us! But to your name bring honor, for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness. 1Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.
2Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" 2Why let the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3Our God is in heaven! He does whatever he pleases! 3Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.
4Their idols are made of silver and gold--they are man-made. 4Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.
5They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see, 5They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.
6ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell, 6They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.
7hands, but cannot touch, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot even clear their throats. 7They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.
8Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them. 8And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
9O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their deliverer and protector. 9O Israel, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
10O family of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their deliverer and protector. 10O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
11You loyal followers of the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their deliverer and protector. 11All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
12The LORD takes notice of us, he will bless--he will bless the family of Israel, he will bless the family 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 his loyal followers, both young and old. 13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both great and lowly.
14May he increase your numbers, yours and your children's! 14May the LORD richly bless both you and your children.
15May you be blessed by the LORD, the creator of heaven and earth! 15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
16The heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind. 16The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity.
17The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death. 17The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.
18But we will praise the LORD now and forevermore. Praise the LORD! 18But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD!
