1Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.
1Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
1Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.
2Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

5They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
7They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.
