Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

2 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

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 don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

8 They that make them are like them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.

He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.

15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.

17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
