    ^135:6 Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all depths, ^135:7 who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries, ^135:8 who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast, ^135:9 who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants, ^135:10 who struck many nations and killed mighty kings– ^135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan–^135:12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.
