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.

There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for [a]to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee. But they are [b]together brutish and foolish: [c]the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men. 10 But Jehovah is [d]the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
