¹³ O Lord our God,
    other lords besides thee have ruled over us,
    but thy name alone we acknowledge.
¹⁴ They are dead, they will not live;
    they are shades, they will not arise;
to that end thou hast visited them with destruction
    and wiped out all remembrance of them.
¹⁵ But thou hast increased the nation, O Lord,
    thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified;
    thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
