1 ¶ Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy and for thy truth.

Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

2 W hy should the Gentiles say, Where is now their God?

Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, their God.

3 B ut our God is in the heavens; he has made whatever he has desired.

And our God in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

4 T heir idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

Their idols silver and gold, work of man's hands,

5 T hey have mouths, but they shall never speak; they have eyes, but they shall never see:

A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

6 T hey have ears, but they shall never hear; they have noses, but they shall never smell;

Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

7 t hey have hands, but they shall never touch; they have feet, but they shall never walk; they shall never speak through their throat.

Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

8 L et those that make them become like unto them, and every one that trusts in them.

Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

9 ¶ O Israel, trust thou in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.

O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'

11 Y e that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; he is your help and your shield.

Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'

12 T he LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will greatly bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

13 H e will bless those that fear the LORD, both small and great.

He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

14 T he LORD shall increase his blessing upon you more and more, upon you and your sons.

Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

15 Y e are blessed of the LORD who made the heavens and earth.

Blessed ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

16 T he heavens are the heavens of the LORD, but the earth he has given to the sons of Adam.

The heavens -- the heavens Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

17 T he dead shall not praise JAH, neither any that go down into silence.

The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

18 B ut we will bless JAH from this time forth and for evermore. Halelu-JAH.

And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
