New King James Version

International Standard Version

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 be given glory on account of your gracious love and faithfulness.

2Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?”

2Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?"

3But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.

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 do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;

5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have 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; they have 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 touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats.

8Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts 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 their shield.

9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield.

10O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.

10House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their helper 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 helper 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 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, Both small and great.

13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both the important and the insignificant together.

14May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children.

14May the LORD add to your numbers— to you and to your descendants.

15May you be blessed by the LORD, Who 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 He has given to the children of men.

16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but he gave the earth to human beings.

17The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who 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 forevermore. Praise the LORD!

18But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah!
