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 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)
