Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
7 Ia menaikkan kabut dari ujung bumi, Ia membuat kilat mengikuti hujan, Ia mengeluarkan angin dari dalam perbendaharaan-Nya.

13 Ya TUHAN, nama-Mu adalah untuk selama-lamanya; ya TUHAN, Engkau diingat turun-temurun.
Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].

Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
15 Berhala bangsa-bangsa adalah perak dan emas, buatan tangan manusia,
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
16 mempunyai mulut, tetapi tidak dapat berkata-kata, mempunyai mata, tetapi tidak dapat melihat,
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
17 mempunyai telinga, tetapi tidak dapat mendengar, juga nafas tidak ada dalam mulut mereka.
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
18 Seperti itulah jadinya orang-orang yang membuatnya, semua orang yang percaya kepadanya.
The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
