Whatever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terræ: fulgura in pluviam fecit. Qui producit ventos de thesauris suis:

8 qui percussit primogenita Ægypti ab homine usque ad pecus.

13 Domine nomen tuum in æternum: Domine memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.

15 Simulacra Gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 Aures habent, et non audient: neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes, qui confidunt in eis.
They that make them are like to them: so is every one that trusts in them.
