1 Not to us, Lord, not to us

but to your name be the glory,

because of your love and faithfulness.

2 Why do the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven;

he does whatever pleases him.

4 But their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

6 They have ears, but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.

7 They have hands, but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk,

nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

8 Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,

But unto thy name give glory,

For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

2 Wherefore should the heathen say,

Where is now their God?

3 But our God is in the heavens:

He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not:

Eyes have they, but they see not:

6 They have ears, but they hear not:

Noses have they, but they smell not:

7 They have hands, but they handle not:

Feet have they, but they walk not:

Neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them are like unto them;

So is every one that trusteth in them.

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

but to your name goes all the glory

for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

2 Why let the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in the heavens,

and he does as he wishes.

4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold,

shaped by human hands.

5 They have mouths but cannot speak,

and eyes but cannot see.

6 They have ears but cannot hear,

and mouths but cannot breathe.

7 They have hands but cannot feel,

and feet but cannot walk,

and throats but cannot make a sound.

8 And those who make idols are just like them,

as are all who trust in them.

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,

But to Your name give glory,

Because of Your mercy,

Because of Your truth.

2 Why should the Gentiles say,

“So where is their God?”

3 But our God is in heaven;

He does whatever He pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they do not speak;

Eyes they have, but they do not see;

6 They have ears, but they do not hear;

Noses they have, but they do not smell;

7 They have hands, but they do not handle;

Feet they have, but they do not walk;

Nor do they mutter through their throat.

8 Those who make them are like them;

So is everyone who trusts in them.

1 It does not belong to us, Lord.

The glory belongs to you

because of your love and loyalty.

2 Why do the nations ask,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven.

He does what he pleases.

4 Their idols are made of silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak.

They have eyes, but they cannot see.

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear.

They have noses, but they cannot smell.

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel.

They have feet, but they cannot walk.

No sounds come from their throats.

8 People who make idols will be like them,

and so will those who trust them.

1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,

But unto thy name give glory,

For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.

2 Wherefore should the nations say,

Where is now 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 mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

6 They have ears, but they hear not;

Noses have they, but they smell not;

7 They have hands, but they handle not;

Feet have they, but they walk not;

Neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them shall be like unto them;

Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

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.

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. 

2 Why should other nations say, “Where is their God?” 

3 Our God is in heaven. 

He does whatever he wants. 

4 Their idols are made of silver and gold. 

They were made by human hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak. 

They have eyes, but they cannot see. 

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear. 

They have noses, but they cannot smell. 

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel. 

They have feet, but they cannot walk. 

They cannot ⸤even⸥ make a sound with their throats. 

8 Those who make idols end up like them. 

So does everyone who trusts them. 

1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,

but to Your name give glory

because of Your faithful love, because of Your truth.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven

and does whatever He pleases.

made by human hands.

5 They have mouths but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

6 They have ears but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.

7 They have hands but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk.

They cannot make a sound with their throats.

8 Those who make them are just like them,

as are all who trust in them.

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,

for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in the heavens;

he does whatever he pleases.

noses, but do not smell.

7 They have hands, but do not feel;

feet, but do not walk;

they make no sound in their throats.

8 Those who make them are like them;

so are all who trust in them.

1 Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,

but to your name give glory,

because of your loyal love,

because of your faithfulness.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where, pray tell, is their God?”

3 But our God is in the heavens;

all that he desires, he does.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

5 They have mouths, but cannot speak;

they have eyes, but cannot see;

6 they have ears, but cannot hear;

they have noses, but cannot smell;

7 they have their hands, but they cannot feel,

their feet, but they cannot walk;

8 Those who make them become like them,

as does everyone who trusts in them.

1 Lord, may glory be given to you, not to us.

You are loving and faithful.

2 Why do the nations ask,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven.

He does anything he wants to do.

4 But the statues of their gods are made out of silver and gold.

They are made by the hands of men.

5 They have mouths, but they can’t speak.

They have eyes, but they can’t see.

6 They have ears, but they can’t hear.

They have noses, but they can’t smell.

7 They have hands, but they can’t feel.

They have feet, but they can’t walk.

They have throats, but they can’t say anything.

8 Those who make statues of gods will be like them.

So will all those who trust in them.

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

But to Your name give glory

Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where, now, is their God?”

3 But our God is in the heavens;

He does whatever He pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of man’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak;

They have eyes, but they cannot see;

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;

They have noses, but they cannot smell;

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel;

They have feet, but they cannot walk;

They cannot make a sound with their throat.

8 Those who make them will become like them,

Everyone who trusts in them.
