1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth. | 1Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory because of your faithful love, because of your truth. |
2Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?” | 2Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" |
3But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. | 3Our God is in heaven and does whatever he pleases. |
4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. | 4Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. |
5They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; | 5They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. |
6They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell; | 6They have ears but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. |
7They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat. | 7They have hands but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot make a sound with their throats. |
8Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them. | 8Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them. |
9O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. | 9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. |

11You who 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 help and shield. |
12The LORD has 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 house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; |
13He will bless those who fear the LORD, Both small and great. | 13he will bless those who fear the LORD--small and great alike. |
14May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children. | 14May the LORD add to your numbers, both yours and your children's. |
15May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. | 15May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. |
16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men. | 16The heavens are the LORD's, but the earth he has given to the human race. |
17The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence. | 17It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any of those descending into the silence of death. |
18But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD! | 18But we will bless the LORD, both now and forever. Hallelujah! |
