^(C)“Great and amazing are your deeds,
    O Lord God the Almighty!
^(D)Just and true are your ways,
    O King of the nations!^[a]
4 (E)Who will not fear, O Lord,
    and glorify your name?
For you alone are ^(F)holy.
    ^(G)All nations will come
    and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

^6 (A)There is none like you, O Lord;
    you are great, and your name is great in might.
^7 (B)Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
    For this is your due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms
    there is none like you.
^8 (C)They are both ^(D)stupid and foolish;
    the instruction of idols is but wood!
^9 (E)Beaten silver is brought from ^(F)Tarshish,
    and gold from ^(G)Uphaz.
^(H)They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
    their clothing is violet and purple;
    ^(I)they are all the work of skilled men.
^10 (J)But the Lord is the true God;
    ^(K)he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
    and the nations cannot endure his indignation.

³ O Lord, ^(A)what is man that you ^(B)regard him,
    or the son of man that you think of him?
^4 (C)Man is like a breath;
    his days are like ^(D)a passing ^(E)shadow.

^5 (F)Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down!
    ^(G)Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
^6 (H)Flash forth the lightning and scatter them;
    ^(I)send out your arrows and rout them!

^7 (A)But you, you are to be feared!
    Who can ^(B)stand before you
    when once your anger is roused?

^5 (D)Come and see what God has done:
    ^(E)he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

^12 (A)Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
    and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
    and weighed the mountains in scales
    and the hills in a balance?
^13 (B)Who has measured^[a] the Spirit of the Lord,
    or what man shows him his counsel?
¹⁴ Whom did he consult,
    and who made him understand?
^(C)Who taught him the path of justice,
    and taught him knowledge,
    and showed him the way of understanding?
¹⁵ Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
    and are accounted ^(D)as the dust on the scales;
    behold, he takes up ^(E)the coastlands like fine dust.
¹⁶ Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,
    nor are ^(F)its beasts enough for a burnt offering.
^17 (G)All the nations are as nothing before him,
    they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
