16The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth; their ears shall be deaf. 17They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.

The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;

they shall lay their hands on their mouths;

their ears shall be deaf;

they shall lick the dust like a serpent,

like the crawling things of the earth;

they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;

they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,

and they shall be in fear of you.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Nations will see and be ashamed,

deprived of all their power.

They will put their hands over their mouths

and their ears will become deaf.

like creatures that crawl on the ground.

They will come trembling out of their dens;

they will turn in fear to the Lord our God

and will be afraid of you.

Nations will see and be ashamed

of all their power.

They will put their hands over their mouths,

and their ears will become deaf.

They will lick the dust like a snake;

they will come trembling out of their hiding places

like reptiles slithering on the ground.

They will tremble in the presence of the Lord our God;

they will stand in awe of you.

NLTNew Living Translation

All the nations of the world will stand amazed

at what the Lord will do for you.

They will be embarrassed

at their feeble power.

They will cover their mouths in silent awe,

deaf to everything around them.

Like snakes crawling from their holes,

they will come out to meet the Lord our God.

They will fear him greatly,

trembling in terror at his presence.

to Yahweh our God.

Let them fear and be afraid of you.

They shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth:

They shall be afraid of the Lord our God,

And shall fear because of thee.
