1 N ot to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
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 nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, their God.
3 B ut our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
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 don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6 T hey have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7 T hey have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 T hose who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 I srael, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'
10 H ouse of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'
11 Y ou who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield He.'
12 Y ahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will 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 who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 M ay Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 B lessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 T he heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has he given to the children of men.
The heavens -- the heavens Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 T he dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18 B ut we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
