▼Lit The one who
He rcauses the ▼▼I.e., clouds
mist to ascend from the ends of the earth,▼
▼Lit The one who
He umakes lightning for the rain;▼
▼Lit The one who
He wbrings forth the wind from His treasuries.8 ▼
▼Lit The one who
He ystruck the firstborn of Egypt,▼
▼Lit From man to animal
Both human firstborn and animal.9 ▼
▼Lit The one who
He sent absigns and wonders into your midst, Egypt,Upon acPharaoh and all his servants.
10 ▼
▼Lit The one who
,
aeHe afstruck many nationsAnd brought death to mighty kings,
11 agSihon, king of the Amorites,
ahOg, king of Bashan,
And aiall the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 And He ajgave their land as an inheritance,
An inheritance to His people Israel.
13 Your akname, Lord, is everlasting,
The mention of You, Lord, is ▼
▼Lit to
throughout all generations.14 For the Lord will amjudge His people
And anwill have compassion on His servants.
15 The aoidols of the nations are nothing but silver and gold,
The work of human hands.
16 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
17 They have ears, but they do not hear,
Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will become like them,
Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 House of apIsrael, bless the Lord;
House of Aaron, bless the Lord;
20 House of Levi, bless the Lord;
You aqwho ▼
▼Lit fear
revere the Lord, bless the Lord.21 Blessed be the Lord asfrom Zion,
Who atdwells in Jerusalem.
▼
▼Or Hallelujah!
Praise ▼▼Heb Yah
the Lord!
