7 Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, faar Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forraadskamre;

8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.

14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
15 Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
