5 I am Yahweh and there’s no one else.

≈Apart from me, there’s no other God.

Even though you don’t know me,

I will strengthen you

6 so that from the east to the west they’ll know

that there’s nothing apart from me.

I’m Yahweh and there’s no other God.

7 I formed the light and created the darkness.

I bring peace and prosperity, and I cause disasters.

It’s me, Yahweh, who does all those things.
