Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps,
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terrae: fulgura in pluviam fecit. Qui producit ventos de thesauris suis:
who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries,
8 qui percussit primogenita Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus.
who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast,
9 Et misit signa, et prodigia in medio tui Aegypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos eius.
who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants,
10 Qui percussit gentes multas: et occidit reges fortes:
who smote many nations, and killed mighty kings-
11 Sehon regem Amorrhaeorum, et Og regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan.
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan-
12 Et dedit terram eorum hereditatem, hereditatem Israel populo suo.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.
13 Domine nomen tuum in aeternum: Domine memoriale tuum in generatione et generationem.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is forever, thy memorial, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 Quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum: et in servis suis deprecabitur.

15 Simulacra Gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
The idols of the nations 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. They have eyes, but they see not.
17 Aures habent, et non audient: neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
