International Standard Version | King James Bible |
1Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be given glory on account of your gracious love and faithfulness. | 1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. |
2Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?" | 2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? |
3when our God is in the heavens and he does whatever he desires? | 3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. |
4Their idols are silver and gold, crafted by human hands. | 4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. | 5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: |
6They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell. | 6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: |
7They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats. | 7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. |
8Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them. | 8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. |
9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. | 9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
10House of Aaron, 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. |
11You who fear the LORD, 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. |
12The LORD remembers and blesses us. He will indeed bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. | 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. |
13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both the important and the insignificant together. | 13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. |
14May the LORD add to your numbers— to you and to your descendants. | 14The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. |
15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth. | 15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. |
16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but he gave the earth to human beings. | 16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. |
17Neither can the dead praise the LORD, nor those who go down into the silence of death. | 17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. |
18But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah! | 18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. |
