1YHVH, we're not [praying for you to give] us glory. Rather, give your Name glory by [showering us saints] with your kindness and stability.
2 Why should the beast-nations taunt, โWhere's their Elohim now?โ
3*Our Elohim[rules] in the heavens, ๐. He does whatever he pleases.
Idols Are Mute, Dumb, Impotent, Useless Junk
4 The [beast-nations'] idols are [mere] silver and gold, [gadgets] made by men's hands.
5[Idols] have mouths, ๐. But they can't speak. Their [painted-on] eyes see nothing.
6[Idols] have ears that never hear, noses that never smell, ๐.
7[Idols] have hands that can't feel anything. They have feet that will never walk. [Idols'] throats never speak [one word], ๐.
8All [people] who make [idols] are [dumb] like [idols], ๐. Everyone who trusts in [idols is impotent].
Run For Refuge in YAH
9 Oh Israel, run to YHVH! He's [our] help, ๐. [YAH's our] shield.
10 Oh family of Aaron, hide in YHVH! He surrounds you with [his supernatural] spirit-shield.
11 You who fear YHVH, spring-for-refuge in YHVH! He's your spherical [ 360ห] forcefield, ๐.
YAH Always Blesses Everyone Who Fears Him
12YHVH constantly thinks of us [Hebrews, ๐]. He'll always bless the [spiritual] family of Israel. He [bends down to help] the [righteous] family of [ancient high-priest] Aaron.
13YHVH always blesses everyone who fears him, both small and great.
14[Over time,]YHVH will increase your [wealth and virtues] more and more, ๐, you and your children.
YAH Gave Mankind The Earth To Safeguard
15 You, ๐, are blessed by YHVH, the maker of heaven and earth.
16The highest heavens are YHVH's [property], ๐. He's entrusted the earth to [us,] Adam's children.
Praise YAH Before Death Drags You To Silence
17 Dead [people] can't [make praise] hullaballoos [for]YHVH. Cadavers sink down into silence, ๐. Halal = wild public praise party.
18[In contrast,] we [believers live on to] kneel [and adore]YHVH from this moment out through eternity, ๐. Hallelu-YHVH! Halal = make a hullaballoo!
