Back to Bible
1 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;
2 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and animal;
3 Who sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
4 Who struck many nations And killed mighty kings,
5 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan;
6 And He gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people.
7 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your fame and remembrance, O LORD, [endures] throughout all generations.
8 For the LORD will judge His people And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].
9 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
10 They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see;
11 They have ears, but they do not hear, Nor is there any breath in their mouths.
12 Those who make idols are like them [absolutely worthless—spiritually blind, deaf, and powerless]; So is everyone who trusts in and relies on them.
13 O house of Israel, bless and praise the LORD [with gratitude]; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
