19Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in a time of distress,l
the nations will come to you
from the ends of the earth, and they will say,
“Our ancestors inherited only lies,
worthless idolsm of no benefit at all.”
20Can one make gods for himself?
But they are not gods.n
21“Therefore, I am about to inform them,
and this time I will make them know
my power and my might;
then they will know that my name is the Lord.”o

O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in the day of trouble,
to you shall the nations come
from the ends of the earth and say:
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
worthless things in which there is no profit.
Can man make for himself gods?
Such are not gods!”

Lord, you are my strength and fortress,
my refuge in the day of trouble!
Nations from around the world
will come to you and say,
“Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage,
for they worshiped worthless idols.
Can people make their own gods?
These are not real gods at all!”
The Lord says,
“Now I will show them my power;
now I will show them my might.
At last they will know and understand
that I am the Lord.

O Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold,
and my refuge in the day of distress,
to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth,
and they will say, “Our ancestors have inherited only lies,
vanity, and there is no profit in them.
Can a human make for himself gods?
Yet they are not gods!”
“Therefore look, I am about to let them know,
this time I am going to let them know
my power and my might,
and they will know that my name is Yahweh.”

O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The Lord.
