No one is like you,(A) Lord;
    you are great,(B)
    and your name is mighty in power.
Who should not fear(C) you,
    King of the nations?(D)
    This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms,
    there is no one like you.

They are all senseless(E) and foolish;(F)
    they are taught by worthless wooden idols.(G)
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.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
    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)

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.
