In thunderous might, your God proclaims,
The Ten Commandments, in holy flames.
Symphonic power, male vocals soar,
Heaven's decree, forevermore.

From Egypt's chains, your every need.
Before Me, no other gods stand,
Bow to Me, in every land.

No idols craft, no image make,
In heaven or earth, no false gods take.
