1 N ot unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth's sake.

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.

2 W herefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?”

3 B ut our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.

4 T heir idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.

5 T hey have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;

6 T hey have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;

7 T hey have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.

8 T hey that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

O Israel, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

11 Y e that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

12 J ehovah hath 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 been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 H e will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.

He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great.

14 J ehovah increase you more and more, You and your children.

May the Lord give you increase more and more, You and your children.

15 B lessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

May you be blessed by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

16 T he heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord ’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.

17 T he dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence.

18 B ut we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.

But we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord!
