⁵ 
For I know that the Lord is great
And that our Lord is above all gods.
⁶ 
Whatever the Lord pleases, He does,
In the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps—
⁷ 
Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth;
Who makes lightning for the rain,
Who brings the wind from His storehouses;

⁸ 
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
Both of man and animal;^(B)
9 
Who sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
¹⁰ 
Who struck many nations
And killed mighty kings,
¹¹ 
Sihon, king of the Amorites,
Og, king of Bashan,
And all the kingdoms of Canaan;
¹² 
And He gave their land as a heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.
¹³ 
Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
Your fame and remembrance, O Lord, [endures] throughout all generations.
¹⁴ 
For the Lord will judge His people
And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].^(C)
15 
The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
¹⁶ 
They have mouths, but they do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
¹⁷ 
They have ears, but they do not hear,
Nor is there any breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ 
Those who make idols are like them [absolutely worthless—spiritually blind, deaf, and powerless];
So is everyone who trusts in and relies on them.^(D)

¹⁹ 
O house of Israel, bless and praise the Lord [with gratitude];
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;
²⁰ 
O house of Levi, bless the Lord;
You who fear the Lord [and worship Him with obedience], bless the Lord [with grateful praise]!^(E)
21 
Blessed be the Lord from Zion,
Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
