1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.
Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?
Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them are like them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.
Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.

14 The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children.
Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD.
but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
