International Standard Version | New American Standard Bible 1995 |
1Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be given glory on account of your gracious love and faithfulness. | 1Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth. |
2Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?" | 2Why should the nations say, "Where, now, is their God?" |
3when our God is in the heavens and he does whatever he desires? | 3But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases. |
4Their idols are silver and gold, crafted by human hands. | 4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of man's hands. |
5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. | 5They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; |
6They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell. | 6They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; |
7They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats. | 7They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat. |
8Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them. | 8Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them. |
9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. | 9O Israel, trust 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. | 11You who 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 has 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 those who fear the LORD, The small together with the great. |
14May the LORD add to your numbers— to you and to your descendants. | 14May the LORD give you increase, You and your children. |
15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth. | 15May you be blessed of the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth. |
16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but he gave the earth to human beings. | 16The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. |
17Neither can the dead praise the LORD, nor those who go down into the silence of death. | 17The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor do any who go down into silence; |
18But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah! | 18But as for us, we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forever. Praise the LORD! |
