5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work,and don’t speak.They must be carried,because they can’t move.Don’t be afraid of them;for they can’t do evil,neither is it in them to do good.”
6 There is no one like you, Lord.You are great,and your name is great in might.
7 Who shouldn’t fear you,King of the nations?For it belongs to you.Because among all the wise men of the nations,and in all their royal estate,there is no one like you.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish,instructed by idols!It is just wood.
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish,and gold from Uphaz,the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith.Their clothing is blue and purple.They are all the work of skillful men.
10 But the Lord is the true God.He is the living God,and an everlasting King.At his wrath, the earth trembles.The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
11 “You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
