Isaiah 26:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Lord, you are our God.
    Other masters besides you have ruled over us.
    But your name is the only one we honor.
¹⁴ Those other masters are now dead.
    They will never live again.
    Their spirits won’t rise from the dead.
You punished them and destroyed them.
    You wiped out all memory of them.
¹⁵ Lord, you have made our nation grow.
    You have made it larger.
You have gained glory for yourself.
    You have increased the size of our land.
