Psalms 135:8-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. God struck down the Egyptians’ oldest offspring—both human and animal!

9. God sent signs and wonders into the very center of Egypt—against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10. God struck down many nationsand killed mighty kings:

11. Sihon the Amorite king,Og the king of Bashan,and all the Canaanite kings.

12. Then God handed their land over as an inheritance—as an inheritance to Israel, his own people.

13. Lord, your name is forever!Lord, your fame extends from one generation to the next!

14. The Lord gives justice to his peopleand has compassion on those who serve him.

15. The nations’ idols are just silver and gold—things made by human hands.

16. They have mouths, but they can’t speak.They have eyes, but they can’t see.

17. They have ears, but they can’t listen.No, there’s no breath in their lungs!
