¹Gef eigi oss, Drottinn, eigi oss, heldur þínu nafni dýrðina sakir miskunnar þinnar og trúfesti.

¹Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

²Hví eiga heiðingjarnir að segja: ,,Hvar er Guð þeirra?``

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

³En vor Guð er í himninum, allt sem honum þóknast, það gjörir hann.

³But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

⁴Skurðgoð þeirra eru silfur og gull, handaverk manna.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

⁵Þau hafa munn, en tala ekki, augu, en sjá ekki,

⁵They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

⁶þau hafa eyru, en heyra ekki, nef, en finna engan þef.

⁶They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

⁷Þau hafa hendur, en þreifa ekki, fætur, en ganga ekki, þau tala eigi með barka sínum.

⁷They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

⁸Eins og þau eru, verða smiðir þeirra, allir þeir er á þau treysta.

⁸Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

⁹En Ísrael treystir Drottni, hann er hjálp þeirra og skjöldur.

⁹Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰Arons ætt treystir Drottni, hann er hjálp þeirra og skjöldur.

¹⁰House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

¹¹Þeir sem óttast Drottin treysta Drottni, hann er hjálp þeirra og skjöldur.

¹¹You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

¹²Drottinn minnist vor, hann mun blessa, hann mun blessa Ísraels ætt, hann mun blessa Arons ætt,

¹²Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³hann mun blessa þá er óttast Drottin, yngri sem eldri.

¹³He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

¹⁴Drottinn mun fjölga yður, sjálfum yður og börnum yðar.

¹⁴May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹⁵Þér eruð blessaðir af Drottni, skapara himins og jarðar.

¹⁵Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶Himinninn er himinn Drottins, en jörðina hefir hann gefið mannanna börnum.

¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has he given to the children of men.

¹⁷Eigi lofa andaðir menn Drottin, né heldur neinn sá, sem hniginn er í dauðaþögn,en vér viljum lofa Drottin, héðan í frá og að eilífu. Halelúja.

¹⁷The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;

¹⁸en vér viljum lofa Drottin, héðan í frá og að eilífu. Halelúja.

¹⁸But we will bless Yah, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise Yah!
