(A)There is none like you, O Lord;
    you are great, and your name is great in might.
(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.
(C)They are both (D)stupid and foolish;
    the instruction of idols is but wood!
(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.

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.
