|
|
in the courts of the house of our God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
|
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
7. He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.
|
|
|
|

|
|
and brings the wind from his storehouses.
|
|
|
|
8. He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
|
|
both people and animals.
|

|
|
against Pharaoh and all his officials.
|
|
|
|

|
|
and slaughtered mighty kings:
|
|
|
|

|
|
your reputation, Lord,
|
|
through all generations.
|
|
|

14. For the Lord will vindicate his people
|
|
and have compassion on his servants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. The idols of the nations are of silver and gold,
|
|
made by human hands.
|
|
|
|
16. They have mouths but cannot speak,
|
|
eyes, but cannot see.
|
|

|
|
indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.
|
|

|
|
as are all who trust in them.
