ThomsonNOT unto us, O Lord; not unto us. But to Thy name only give the glory: for Thy mercy and for Thy truth.
BrentonAlleluia. I believed, wherefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
GreekἈλληλούϊα. Ἐπιστεύσα, διὸ ἐλάλησα, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα.
2
ThomsonPerhaps the nations may say, Where is their God?
BrentonAnd I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.
GreekἘγὼ δὲ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου, πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης.
3
ThomsonOur God is in heaven and on earth: all that He willed, He hath done.
BrentonWhat shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
GreekΤί ἀνταποδώσω τῷ Κυρίῳ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι;
4
ThomsonThe idols of the nations are silver and gold; the workmanship of men’s hands.
BrentonI will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
GreekΠοτήριον σωτηρίου λήψομαι, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι·

ThomsonEars they have, but they cannot hear: having nostrils they cannot smell.
BrentonPrecious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
GreekΤίμιος ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ.

ThomsonThey have hands but they cannot feel: They have feet, but they cannot walk: nor can they utter a sound with their throat.
BrentonO Lord, I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast burst my bonds asunder.
GreekὮ Κύριε ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς, ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς, καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου, διέῤῥηξας τοὺς δεσμούς μου.
8
ThomsonLet them who make them be like them; and all who have trusted in them.
BrentonI will offer to thee the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
GreekΣοὶ θύσω θυσίαν αἰνέσεως, καὶ ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι·
