13. O Lord our God, other masters besides You have ruled us; But through You alone we confess Your name.
14. The dead will not live, the departed spirits will not rise; Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And You have wiped out all remembrance of them.
15. You have increased the nation, O Lord, You have increased the nation, You are glorified; You have extended all the borders of the land.
16. O Lord, they sought You in distress; They could only whisper a prayer, Your chastening was upon them.
