O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit.

KJV

יְהוָ֞ה עֻזִּ֧/י וּ/מָעֻזִּ֛/י וּ/מְנוּסִ֖/י בְּ/י֣וֹם צָרָ֑ה אֵלֶ֗י/ךָ גּוֹיִ֤ם יָבֹ֨אוּ֙ מֵֽ/אַפְסֵי אָ֔רֶץ וְ/יֹאמְר֗וּ אַךְ שֶׁ֨קֶר֙ נָחֲל֣וּ אֲבוֹתֵ֔י/נוּ הֶ֖בֶל וְ/אֵֽין בָּ֥/ם מוֹעִֽיל

Translations

Louis Segond 1910

Eternel, ma force et mon appui, mon refuge au jour de la détresse! Les nations viendront à toi des extrémités de la terre, Et elles diront: Nos pères n'ont hérité que le mensonge, De vaines idoles, qui ne servent à rien.

KJV

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit.
