4 F or Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

5 F or I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

6 W hatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

7 w ho causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings the wind out of his treasuries;

8 W ho struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

9 W ho sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

10 w ho struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

11 S ihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

12 a nd gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

13 Y our name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

14 F or Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

15 T he idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

16 T hey have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

17 T hey have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 T hose who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
