1. Lord, you should receive the honor, not us. The honor belongs to you because of your faithful love and loyalty.
|
1. Not H3808 unto us , O LORD H3068 , not H3808 unto us, but H3588 unto thy name H8034 give H5414 glory H3519 , for H5921 thy mercy H2617 , and for H5921 thy truth H571 's sake.
|
|
2. Why should the nations wonder where our God is?
|
2. Wherefore H4100 should the heathen H1471 say H559 , Where H346 is now H4994 their God H430 ?
|
|
3. Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
|
3. But our God H430 is in the heavens H8064 : he hath done H6213 whatsoever H3605 H834 he hath pleased H2654 .
|
|
4. The "gods" of those nations are only statues that some human made from gold and silver.
|
4. Their idols H6091 are silver H3701 and gold H2091 , the work H4639 of men H120 's hands H3027 .
|
|
5. Those statues have mouths, but cannot talk. They have eyes, but cannot see.
|
5. They have mouths H6310 , but they speak H1696 not H3808 : eyes H5869 have they , but they see H7200 not H3808 :
|
|
6. They have ears, but cannot hear. They have noses, but cannot smell.
|
6. They have ears H241 , but they hear H8085 not H3808 : noses H639 have they , but they smell H7306 not H3808 :
|
|
7. They have hands, but cannot feel. They have feet, but cannot walk. No sounds come from their throats.
|
7. They have hands H3027 , but they handle H4184 not H3808 : feet H7272 have they , but they walk H1980 not H3808 : neither H3808 speak H1897 they through their throat H1627 .
|
|
8. The people who make and trust in those statues will become like them!
|
8. They that make H6213 them are H1961 like unto them H3644 ; so is every one H3605 that H834 trusteth H982 in them.
|
|
9. People of Israel, trust in the Lord! He is your strength and shield.
|
9. O Israel H3478 , trust H982 thou in the LORD H3068 : he H1931 is their help H5828 and their shield H4043 .
|
|
10. Aaron's family, trust in the Lord! He is your strength and shield.
|
10. O house H1004 of Aaron H175 , trust H982 in the LORD H3068 : he H1931 is their help H5828 and their shield H4043 .
|
|
11. Followers of the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is your strength and shield.
|
11. Ye that fear H3373 the LORD H3068 , trust H982 in the LORD H3068 : he H1931 is their help H5828 and their shield H4043 .
|
|
12. The Lord remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless Israel. He will bless Aaron's family.
|
12. The LORD H3068 hath been mindful H2142 of us : he will bless H1288 us ; he will bless H1288 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 ; he will bless H1288 H853 the house H1004 of Aaron H175 .
|
|
13. The Lord will bless his followers, great and small.
|
13. He will bless H1288 them that fear H3373 the LORD H3068 , both small H6996 and H5973 great H1419 .
|
|
14. May the Lord give more and more to you and to your children.
|
14. The LORD H3068 shall increase you more and more H3254 H5921 , you and your children H1121 .
|
|
15. May you receive blessings from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
|
15. Ye H859 are blessed H1288 of the LORD H3068 which made H6213 heaven H8064 and earth H776 .
|
|
16. Heaven belongs to the Lord, but he gave the earth to people.
|
16. The heaven H8064 , even the heavens H8064 , are the LORD H3068 's : but the earth H776 hath he given H5414 to the children H1121 of men H120 .
|
|
17. The dead don't praise him. Those in the grave don't praise the Lord.
|
17. The dead H4191 praise H1984 not H3808 the LORD H3050 , neither H3808 any H3605 that go down H3381 into silence H1745 .
|
|
18. But we will praise the Lord now and forever! Praise the Lord!
|
18. But we H587 will bless H1288 the LORD H3050 from this time forth H4480 H6258 and forevermore H5704 H5769 . Praise H1984 the LORD H3050 .
