I will give you the [a](A)treasures of darkness
And hidden wealth of secret places,
So that you may know that it is I,
The Lord, the God of Israel, who (B)calls you by your name.
For the sake of (C)Jacob My servant,
And Israel My chosen one,
I have also (D)called you by your name;
I have given you a title of honor
Though you have (E)not known Me.
I am the Lord, and (F)there is no one else;
(G)There is no God except Me.
I will [b](H)arm you, though you have not known Me,
So that (I)people may know from the rising to the setting of the sun
That there is (J)no one besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no one else,
The One (K)forming light and (L)creating darkness,
Causing [c]well-being and (M)creating disaster;
I am the Lord who does all these things.

God’s Supreme Power

(N)Drip down, heavens, from above,
And let the clouds pour down righteousness;
Let the (O)earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
(P)And righteousness sprout with it.
I, the Lord, have created it.
