Mazmur 96:4-5

96:4 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise;

he is more awesome than all gods. ¹ 

96:5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, ² 

but the Lord made the sky.

[96:4]  ¹ tn Or perhaps “and feared by all gods.” See Ps 89:7.

[96:5]  ² tn The Hebrew term אֱלִילִים (’elilim, “worthless”) sounds like אֱלֹהִים (’elohim, “gods”). The sound play draws attention to the statement.
