| 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 goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. |
| 2Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?" | 2Why let the nations say, “Where is their God?” |
| 3when our God is in the heavens and he does whatever he desires? | 3Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes. |
| 4Their idols are silver and gold, crafted by human hands. | 4Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. |
| 5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. | 5They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. |
| 6They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell. | 6They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell. |
| 7They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats. | 7They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound. |
| 8Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them. | 8And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. |
| 9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. | 9O Israel, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield. |
| 10House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. | 10O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield. |
| 11You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. | 11All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield. |
| 12The LORD remembers and blesses us. He will indeed bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house 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 those who fear the LORD, both the important and the insignificant together. | 13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both great and lowly. |
| 14May the LORD add to your numbers— to you and to your descendants. | 14May the LORD richly bless both you and your children. |
| 15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth. | 15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
| 16The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but he gave the earth to human beings. | 16The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity. |
| 17Neither can the dead praise the LORD, nor those who go down 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 bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah! | 18But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD! |
