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 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.8 They that make them are like unto them, -every one that confideth in them.9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.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 them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;18 But *we* will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!

1 Nie aan ons, o HERE, nie aan ons nie, maar aan u Naam gee eer, om u goedertierenheid, om u trou ontwil.2 Waarom sou die heidene sê: Waar is dan hulle God?3 terwyl onse God tog in die hemel is; Hy doen alles wat Hom behaag.4 Hulle afgode is silwer en goud, 'n werk van mensehande.5 Hulle het 'n mond, maar praat nie; hulle het oë, maar sien nie;6 ore het hulle, maar hoor nie; hulle het 'n neus, maar ruik nie;7 hande, maar hulle tas nie; voete, maar hulle loop nie; hulle gee geen geluid deur hul keel nie.8 Die wat hulle maak, sal net soos hulle word -- elkeen wat op hulle vertrou.9 Israel, vertrou op die HERE: Hy is hulle hulp en hulle skild!10 Huis van A„ron, vertrou op die HERE: Hy is hulle hulp en hulle skild!11 Julle wat die HERE vrees, vertrou op die HERE: Hy is hulle hulp en hulle skild.12 Die HERE het aan ons gedink: Hy sal seën, Hy sal die huis van Israel seën, Hy sal die huis van A„ron seën.13 Hy sal diegene seën wat die HERE vrees, die kleintjies saam met die grotes.14 Die HERE sal julle vermenigvuldig, julle en jul kinders.15 Julle is geseënd deur die HERE wat hemel en aarde gemaak het.16 Die hemele is hemele vir die HERE, maar die aarde het Hy aan die mensekinders gegee.17 Die dode en almal wat na die stilte neerdaal, sal die HERE nie loof nie;18 maar ons sal die HERE prys, van nou af tot in ewigheid. Halleluja!
