1Not <03808> to us, O Lord <03068>, not <03808> to us! But <03588> to your name <08034> bring <05414> honor <03519>, for the sake <05921> of your loyal love <02617> and faithfulness <0571>.
2Why <04100> should the nations <01471> say <0559>, “Where <0346> is their God <0430>?”
3Our God <0430> is in heaven <08064>! He does <06213> whatever <0834> <03605> he pleases <02654>!
4Their idols <06091> are made of silver <03701> and gold <02091>– they are man-made <0120> <03027> <04639>.
5They <01992> have mouths <06310>, but cannot <03808> speak <01696>, eyes <05869>, but cannot <03808> see <07200>,
6ears <0241>, but cannot <03808> hear <08085>, noses <0639>, but cannot <03808> smell <07306>,
7hands <03027>, but cannot <03808> touch <04184>, feet <07272>, but cannot <03808> walk <01980>. They cannot <03808> even clear <01897> their throats <01627>.
8Those who make <06213> them will end up <01961> like <03644> them, as will everyone <03605> who <0834> trusts <0982> in them.
9O Israel <03478>, trust <0982> in the Lord <03068>! He <01931> is their deliverer <05828> and protector <04043>.
10O family <01004> of Aaron <0175>, trust <0982> in the Lord <03068>! He <01931> is their deliverer <05828> and protector <04043>.
11You loyal followers <03373> of the Lord <03068>, trust <0982> in the Lord <03068>! He <01931> is their deliverer <05828> and protector <04043>.
12The Lord <03068> takes notice <02142> of us, he will bless <01288>– he will bless <01288> the family <01004> of Israel <03478>, he will bless <01288> the family <01004> of Aaron <0175>.
13He will bless <01288> his loyal followers <03373>, both young <06996> and <05973> old <01419>.
14May he <03068> increase <03254> your numbers, yours and your children’s <01121>!
15May you <0859> be blessed <01288> by the Lord <03068>, the creator <06213> of heaven <08064> and earth <0776>!
16The heavens <08064> belong to the Lord <03068> <08064>, but the earth <0776> he has given <05414> to mankind <0120> <01121>.
17The dead <04191> do not <03808> praise <01984> the Lord <03050>, nor <03808> do any <03605> of those who descend <03381> into the silence <01745> of death.
18But we <0587> will praise <01288> the Lord <03050> now <06258> and forevermore <05769> <05704>. Praise <01984> the Lord <03050>!
