There is none like you, O Yahweh,
    you are great and your name is great in might.
Who would not revere you, O king of the nations?
    For you it is fitting.
For among all the wise men of the nations,
    and in all their kingdoms,[a]
    there is none like you.
At the same time[b] they are stupid and foolish,
    in the instruction of idols, it is wood.
Silver beaten from Tarshish is brought,
    and gold from Uphaz,
the work of the craftsman and the hands of the goldsmith.
Blue and purple are their clothing,
    all of them are the work of skillful people.
10 But Yahweh is the true God,
    he is the living God,
    and an everlasting king.[c]
Because of his wrath the earth quakes,
    and the nations cannot endure his anger.
