7. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? Indeed it is Your due! For among all the wise men of the nations And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.
8. But they are altogether stupid and foolish In their discipline of delusion-their idol is wood!
9. Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith; Violet and purple are their clothing; They are all the work of skilled men.
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.
11. Thus you shall say to them, "The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens."
12. It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.
13. When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain, And brings out the wind from His storehouses.
