| 1 | NOT unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory for thy mercy and for thy truth's sake. | Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! | Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. | |
| 2 | Wherefore the Gentiles have no cause to say, Where is now their God? | Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” | Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?” | |
| 3 | But our God is in the heavens; he has done whatever he pleased. | Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. | Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. | |
| 4 | The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. | Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. | But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. | |
| 5 | They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; | They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. | They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. | |
| 6 | They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not; | They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. | They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. | |
| 7 | They have hands, but they feel not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throats. | They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. | They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats. | |
| 8 | Let them that make them become like them; and every one that trusts in them. | Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. | Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. | |
| 9 | The house of Israel trusts in the LORD; he is their help and their shield. | O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. | All you Israelites, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield. | |
| 10 | The house of Aaron trusts in the LORD; he is their help and their shield. | O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. | House of Aaron, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield. | |
| 11 | You who reverence the LORD, trust in the LORD; he is their help and their shield. | You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. | You who fear him, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield. | |
| 12 | The LORD has been mindful of us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. | The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; | The LORD remembers us and will bless us: He will bless his people Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron, | |
| 13 | The LORD will bless them that worship him, both small and great. | he will bless those who fear the LORD, both the small and the great. | he will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike. | |
| 14 | The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children. | May the LORD give you increase, you and your children! | May the LORD cause you to flourish, both you and your children. | |
| 15 | You are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth. | May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth! | May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | |
| 16 | The heavens, even the heavens, are the LORD'S; but the earth has he given to the children of men. | The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man. | The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind. | |
| 17 | The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into darkness. | The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence. | It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to the place of silence; | |
| 18 | But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. | But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD! | it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD. | |
