2 You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God:

6 All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.

7 He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.

Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.

10 He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong kings:

Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew

11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

12 And he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel.

13 Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.

Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.

For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.

15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.

16 They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.

They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.

17 They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.

18 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.

Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
