New King James Version | New Living Translation |
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, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. |
2Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?” | 2Why let the nations say, “Where is their God?” |
3But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. | 3Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes. |
4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. | 4Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped 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, and 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, and 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, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound. |
8Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them. | 8And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. |
9O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. | 9O Israel, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield. |
10O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their 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 help and their shield. | 11All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your 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 people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron. |
13He will bless those who fear the LORD, Both small and great. | 13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both great and lowly. |
14May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children. | 14May the LORD richly bless both you and your children. |
15May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. | 15May you be blessed by the LORD, who made 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 belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity. |
17The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence. | 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 this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD! | 18But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD! |
