There is no one like you, Lord.
    You are great, and your name is great and powerful.
Who wouldn’t fear you, king of the nations?
    This is what you deserve!
Indeed, among all the wise men of the nations,
    and throughout all their kingdoms,
        there is no one like you!
Everyone is stupid[a] and senseless.
    They follow worthless instruction
        from a piece of wood![b]
Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,
    and gold from Uphaz.
The idols are[c] the work of a craftsman[d]
    and of the hands of a goldsmith.
Their clothing is violet and purple.
    The idols[e] are all the work of skilled craftsmen.
10 The Lord is the true God;
    he’s the living God and the everlasting king.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
    and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
