10 But you are the only true God.
    You are the only living God.
    You are the King who rules forever.
When you are angry, the earth trembles with fear.
    The nations can’t stand up under your anger.

11 The Lord speaks to the Jews living in Babylon. He says, “Here is what you must tell the people of the nations. Tell them, ‘Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth. In fact, these gods will disappear from the earth. They will vanish from under the heavens.’ ”

12 But God used his power to make the earth.
    His wisdom set the world in place.
    His understanding spread out the heavens.
