Lord, there is no one like you.(A)
You are great;
your name is great in power.(B)
Who should not fear you,
King of the nations?(C)
It is what you deserve.
For among all the wise people of the nations
and among all their kingdoms,
there is no one like you.
They are both stupid and foolish,
instructed by worthless idols
made of wood!
Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish(D)
and gold from Uphaz.[a](E)
The work of a craftsman
and of a goldsmith’s hands
is clothed in blue and purple,
all the work of skilled artisans.
10 But the Lord is the true God;(F)
he is the living God(G) and eternal King.(H)
The earth quakes at his wrath,(I)
and the nations cannot endure his fury.

  1. 10:9 Or Ophir

(A)There is none like You, Lord;
You are (B)great, and Your name is great in might.
(C)Who would not fear You, O (D)King of the nations?
For it is Your due!
For among all the (E)wise men of the nations
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
But they are altogether (F)stupid and foolish;
The instruction from idols is nothing but wood!
Beaten (G)silver is brought from (H)Tarshish,
And (I)gold from Uphaz,
The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith;
Their clothing is of violet and purple;
They are all the (J)work of skilled people.
10 But the Lord is the (K)true God;
He is the (L)living God and the (M)everlasting King.
The (N)earth quakes at His wrath,
And the nations cannot (O)endure His indignation.

Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish(H)
    and gold from Uphaz.
What the craftsman and goldsmith have made(I)
    is then dressed in blue and purple—
    all made by skilled workers.

    he is the living God,(J) the eternal King.(K)
When he is angry,(L) the earth trembles;(M)
    the nations cannot endure his wrath.(N)
