  [10] μήποτε εἴπωσι τὰ ἔθνη· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν;

  [10] lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

  [11] ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα, ὅσα ἠθέλησεν, ἐποίησε.

  [11] But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.

  [12] τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων·

  [12] The idols
of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

  [13] στόμα ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν, ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται,

  [15] they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.

  [16] ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς.

  [16] Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

  [20] The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

  [21] εὐλόγησε τοὺς φοβουμένους τὸν Κύριον, τοὺς μικροὺς μετὰ τῶν μεγάλων.

  [24] The heaven of heavens belongs to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

  [25] οὐχ οἱ νεκροὶ αἰνέσουσί σε, Κύριε, οὐδὲ πάντες οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς ᾅδου,

  [25] The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

  [26] ἀλλ᾿ ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες εὐλογήσομεν τὸν Κύριον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
