Their idols are like scarecrows in melon fields;
    they cannot talk.
Since they cannot walk,
    they must be carried.
Do not be afraid of those idols,
    because they can’t hurt you,
    and they can’t help you either.”

Lord, there is no one like you.
    You are great,
    and your name is great and powerful.
Everyone should respect you, King of the nations;
    you deserve respect.
Of all the wise people among the nations
    and in all the kingdoms,
    none of them is as wise as you.
