(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.

There is none like you, O Lord;
    you are great, and your name is great in might.(A)
Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
    For that is your due;
among all the wise ones of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms
    there is no one like you.(B)
They are both stupid and foolish;
    the instruction given by idols
    is no better than wood![a](C)
Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish
    and gold from Uphaz.
They are the work of the artisan and of the hands of the goldsmith;
    their clothing is blue and purple;
    they are all the product of skilled workers.(D)
10 But the Lord is the true God;
    he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
    and the nations cannot endure his indignation.[b](E)
