|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
throughout all heaven and earth,
|
|
|
|
and on the seas and in their depths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth.
|
|
|
|

|
|
and slaughtered mighty kings--
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
and all the kings of Canaan.

|
|
|
|

|
|
your fame, O LORD, is known to every generation.
|
|
|
|
14. For the LORD will give justice to his people
|
|
|
|
and have compassion on his servants.
|

15. The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold,
|
|
|
|
shaped by human hands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. They have mouths but cannot speak,
|
|
|
|
and eyes but cannot see.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. They have ears but cannot hear,
|
|
|
|
and mouths but cannot breathe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. And those who make idols are just like them,
|
|
|
|
as are all who trust in them.

|
|
|
|
for he lives here in Jerusalem.
|
|
Praise the LORD!
