| 1 | Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name thou wilt give glory, for thy mercy, for thy truth. | 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 shall the nations say, Where now their God? | Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” | Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?” | |
| 3 | And our God is in the heavens; did all that he delighted in. | Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. | Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. | |
| 4 | Their images are silver and gold, the work of man'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 | A mouth to them, and they shall not speak: eyes to them, and they will not see: | They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. | They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. | |
| 6 | Ears to them, and they shall not hear: a nose to them, and they shall not smell: | They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. | They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. | |
| 7 | Their hands, and they will not feel: their feet, and they shall not go: they shall not murmur in their throat. | 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 | They making them shall be as they; all that trusted 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 | O Israel, trust in Jehovah: 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 | O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: he 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 | Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: he 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 | Jehovah remembered us: he will bless, 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 | He will bless those fearing Jehovah, the small with the 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 | Jehovah will add to you, to you and to your sons. | May the LORD give you increase, you and your children! | May the LORD cause you to flourish, both you and your children. | |
| 15 | Ye being blessed to Jehovah, making the heavens and the 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 of heavens to Jehovah, and he gave the earth to the sons of man. | 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 shall not praise Jah, and all going down to silence. | 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 | And we will bless Jah from time and even forever. Praise ye Jah. | 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. | |
