All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;

before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,

Posterity shall serve him;

it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;

they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn,

that he has done it.

They will proclaim his righteousness,

declaring to a people yet unborn:

He has done it!

Let the rich of the earth feast and worship.

Bow before him, all who are mortal,

all whose lives will end as dust.

Our children will also serve him.

Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord.

His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born.

They will hear about everything he has done.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Because the kingship belongs to Yahweh,

and he rules over the nations.

All the healthy ones of the earth will eat and worship.

Before him all of those descending into the dust will kneel,

even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

Descendants will serve him.

Regarding the Lord, it will be told to the next generation.

They will come and tell his saving deeds

to a people yet to be born, that he has done it.

KJV 1900King James Version

For the kingdom is the Lord’s:

And he is the governor among the nations.

All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship:

All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him:

And none can keep alive his own soul.

A seed shall serve him;

It shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness

Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
