13 Lord, our God,
    other lords besides you have ruled us,
    but we acknowledge only your name.
14 The dead will not come back to life;
    their departed spirits will not rise again.
For you have punished and destroyed them
    and eradicated all memory of them.
15 Lord, you have enlarged the nation,
    and in enlarging it you have been glorified;
    you have extended all the frontiers of the country.
