A song praising Yahweh

51:15 A song praising Yahweh

15 He has made the earth by his power.

≈ He set the world in place by his wisdom.

≈ By his understanding he stretched out the skies.

16 When he makes thunder, there’s the roar of waters in the skies,

≈ because he brings the mist up from the ends of the earth.

He makes lightning to go with the rain

≈ and sends out wind from his storehouses.

17 All people have become ignorant—without knowledge.

Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols.

→ because his cast images are lifeless frauds.

18 They are the worthless work of mockers

who’ll perish at the time of their punishment.

19 Yisrael’s (Israel’s) god is not like those,

because he’s the one who formed everything.

Yisrael is the tribe of his inheritance.

Commander-in-chief Yahweh is his name.
