Heathen Idols Contrasted with the LORD. | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth. | 1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. | 1 Don't give glory to us, O LORD. Don't give glory to us. Instead, give glory to your name because of your mercy and faithfulness. | 1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake. | 1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake. | 2 Why should the nations say, "Where, now, is their God?" | 2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? | 2 Why should other nations say, "Where is their God?" | 2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?" | 2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God? | 3 But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases. | 3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. | 3 Our God is in heaven. He does whatever he wants. | 3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases. | 3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased. | 4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of man's hands. | 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. | 4 Their idols are made of silver and gold. They were made by human hands. | 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. | 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands: | 5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; | 5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: | 5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak. They have eyes, but they cannot see. | 5 They have mouths, but they don't speak. They have eyes, but they don't see. | 5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; | 6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: | 6 They have ears, but they cannot hear. They have noses, but they cannot smell. | 6 They have ears, but they don't hear. They have noses, but they don't smell. | 6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not; | 7 They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat. | 7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. | 7 They have hands, but they cannot feel. They have feet, but they cannot walk. They cannot [even] make a sound with their throats. | 7 They have hands, but they don't feel. They have feet, but they don't walk, neither do they speak through their throat. | 7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat. | 8 Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them. | 8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. | 8 Those who make idols end up like them. So does everyone who trusts them. | 8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them. | 8 They that make them are like unto them, every one that confideth in them. | 9 O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. | 9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | 9 Israel, trust the LORD. He is your helper and your shield. | 9 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. | 9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. | 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. | 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | 10 Descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD. He is your helper and your shield. | 10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. | 10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. | 11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. | 11 If you fear the LORD, trust the LORD. He is your helper and your shield. | 11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield. | 11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. | 12 The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. | 12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. | 12 The LORD, who is [always] thinking about us, will bless us. He will bless the descendants of Israel. He will bless the descendants of Aaron. | 12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. | 12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; | 13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, The small together with the great. | 13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. | 13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, from the least important to the most important. | 13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great. | 13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great. | 14 May the LORD give you increase, You and your children. | 14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. | 14 May the LORD continue to bless you and your children. | 14 May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children. | 14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children. | 15 May you be blessed of the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth. | 15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. | 15 You will be blessed by the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. | 15 Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. | 15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. | 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. | 16 The highest heaven belongs to the LORD, but he has given the earth to the descendants of Adam. | 16 The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has he given to the children of men. | 16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men. | 17 The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor do any who go down into silence; | 17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. | 17 Those who are dead do not praise the LORD, nor do those who go into the silence [of the grave]. | 17 The dead don't praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence; | 17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence; | 18 But as for us, we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forever. Praise the LORD! | 18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. | 18 But we will thank the LORD now and forever. Hallelujah! | 18 But we will bless Yah, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise Yah! | 18 But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah! |
