*
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee ,
O LORD ;
thou art great ,
and thy name is great in might .
*
Who would not fear thee ,
O King of nations ?
for to thee doth it appertain :
forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations ,
and in all their kingdoms ,
there is none like unto thee .
*
But they are altogether brutish and foolish :
the stock is a doctrine of vanities .
*
Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish ,
and gold from Uphaz ,
the work of the workman ,
and of the hands of the founder :
blue and purple is their clothing :
they are all the work of cunning men .
*
But the LORD is the true God ,
he is the living God ,
and an everlasting king :
at his wrath the earth shall tremble ,
and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation .
*
Thus shall ye say unto them ,
The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth ,
even they shall perish from the earth ,
and from under these heavens .
*
He hath made the earth by his power ,
he hath established the world by his wisdom ,
and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion .
*
When he uttereth his voice ,
there is a multitude of waters in the heavens ,
and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth ;
he maketh lightnings with rain ,
and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures .
*
Every man is brutish in his knowledge :
every founder is confounded by the graven image :
for his molten image is falsehood ,
and there is no breath in them .
*
They are vanity ,
and the work of errors :
in the time of their visitation they shall perish .
*
The portion of Jacob is not like them :
for he is the former of all things ;
and Israel is the rod of his inheritance :
The LORD of hosts is his name .
*
Gather up thy wares out of the land ,
O inhabitant of the fortress .
*
For thus saith the LORD ,
Behold ,
I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once ,
and will distress them ,
that they may find it so .
*
Woe is me for my hurt !
my wound is grievous :
but I said ,
Truly this is a grief ,
and I must bear it .
*
My tabernacle is spoiled ,
and all my cords are broken :
my children are gone forth of me ,
and they are not :
there is none to stretch forth my tent any more ,
and to set up my curtains .
*
For the pastors are become brutish ,
and have not sought the LORD :
therefore they shall not prosper ,
and all their flocks shall be scattered .
*
Behold ,
the noise of the bruit is come ,
and a great commotion out of the north country ,
to make the cities of Judah desolate ,
and a den of dragons .
*
O LORD ,
I know that the way of man is not in himself :
it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps .
*
O LORD ,
correct me ,
but with judgment ;
not in thine anger ,
lest thou bring me to nothing .
*
Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not ,
and upon the families that call not on thy name :
for they have eaten up Jacob ,
and devoured him ,
and consumed him ,
and have made his habitation desolate .
