6 There is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in might.
For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.
> Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Hosts is his name;
Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for great in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel!"
He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like Yahweh our God.
To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.
How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.
For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh, A very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, To be feared above all those who are around him? Yahweh, God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.
There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds. All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name. For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
All my bones shall say, "Yahweh, who is like you, Who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keep covenant and loving kindness, don't let all the travail seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Don't be you afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Therefore you are great, Yahweh God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
