1. Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.
|
1. Not H3808 unto us , O LORD H3068 , not H3808 unto us, but H3588 unto thy name H8034 give H5414 glory H3519 , for H5921 thy mercy H2617 , and for H5921 thy truth H571 's sake.
|
2. Why let the nations say, "Where is their God?"
|
2. Wherefore H4100 should the heathen H1471 say H559 , Where H346 is now H4994 their God H430 ?
|
3. Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.
|
3. But our God H430 is in the heavens H8064 : he hath done H6213 whatsoever H3605 H834 he hath pleased H2654 .
|
4. Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.
|
4. Their idols H6091 are silver H3701 and gold H2091 , the work H4639 of men H120 's hands H3027 .
|
5. They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.
|
5. They have mouths H6310 , but they speak H1696 not H3808 : eyes H5869 have they , but they see H7200 not H3808 :
|
6. They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.
|
6. They have ears H241 , but they hear H8085 not H3808 : noses H639 have they , but they smell H7306 not H3808 :
|
7. They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.
|
7. They have hands H3027 , but they handle H4184 not H3808 : feet H7272 have they , but they walk H1980 not H3808 : neither H3808 speak H1897 they through their throat H1627 .
|
8. And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
|
8. They that make H6213 them are H1961 like unto them H3644 ; so is every one H3605 that H834 trusteth H982 in them.
|
9. O Israel, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
|
9. O Israel H3478 , trust H982 thou in the LORD H3068 : he H1931 is their help H5828 and their shield H4043 .
|
10. O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
|
10. O house H1004 of Aaron H175 , trust H982 in the LORD H3068 : he H1931 is their help H5828 and their shield H4043 .
|
11. All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
|
11. Ye that fear H3373 the LORD H3068 , trust H982 in the LORD H3068 : he H1931 is their help H5828 and their shield H4043 .
|
12. The LORD remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
|
12. The LORD H3068 hath been mindful H2142 of us : he will bless H1288 us ; he will bless H1288 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 ; he will bless H1288 H853 the house H1004 of Aaron H175 .
|
13. He will bless those who fear the LORD, both great and lowly.
|
13. He will bless H1288 them that fear H3373 the LORD H3068 , both small H6996 and H5973 great H1419 .
|
14. May the LORD richly bless both you and your children.
|
14. The LORD H3068 shall increase you more and more H3254 H5921 , you and your children H1121 .
|
15. May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
|
15. Ye H859 are blessed H1288 of the LORD H3068 which made H6213 heaven H8064 and earth H776 .
|
16. The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity.
|
16. The heaven H8064 , even the heavens H8064 , are the LORD H3068 's : but the earth H776 hath he given H5414 to the children H1121 of men H120 .
|
17. The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.
|
17. The dead H4191 praise H1984 not H3808 the LORD H3050 , neither H3808 any H3605 that go down H3381 into silence H1745 .
|
18. But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD!
|
18. But we H587 will bless H1288 the LORD H3050 from this time forth H4480 H6258 and forevermore H5704 H5769 . Praise H1984 the LORD H3050 .
