5. I know that our Lord is great,greater than all the gods.
6. He does whatever he wishesin heaven and on earth,in the seas and in the depths below.
7. He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth;he makes lightning for the storms,and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.
8. In Egypt he killed all the firstbornof people and animals alike.
9. There he performed miracles and wondersto punish the king and all his officials.
10. He destroyed many nationsand killed powerful kings:
11. Sihon, king of the Amorites,Og, king of Bashan,and all the kings in Canaan.
12. He gave their lands to his people;he gave them to Israel.
13. Lord, you will always be proclaimed as God;all generations will remember you.
14. The Lord will defend his people;he will take pity on his servants.
15. The gods of the nations are made of silver and gold;they are formed by human hands.
16. They have mouths, but cannot speak,and eyes, but cannot see.
17. They have ears, but cannot hear;they are not even able to breathe.
18. May all who made them and who trust in thembecome like the idols they have made!
19. Praise the Lord, people of Israel;praise him, you priests of God!
