A Hymn of Praise

15 He is the One who made the earth by his power
and established the world by his wisdom.

16 He thunders, and the waters in the heavens roar.
He makes storm clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
and he brings the wind out from his warehouses.

Every goldsmith is embarrassed by his idols.
The images he makes are false.
There is no breath in them.
