2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:
He causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries.
8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
Who stroke great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
Your name, O LORD, endures for ever; and your memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusts in them.
