15:11 Who is like you, 1 O Lord, among the gods? 2
Who is like you? – majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, 3 working wonders?
136:4 to the one who performs magnificent, amazing deeds all by himself,
for his loyal love endures,
4:3 “How great are his signs!
How mighty are his wonders!
His kingdom will last forever, 4
and his authority continues from one generation to the next.”
1 tn The question is of course rhetorical; it is a way of affirming that no one is comparable to God. See C. J. Labuschagne, The Incomparability of Yahweh in the Old Testament, 22, 66-67, and 94-97.
2 sn Verses 11-17 will now focus on Yahweh as the incomparable one who was able to save Israel from their foes and afterward lead them to the promised land.
3 tn S. R. Driver suggests “praiseworthy acts” as the translation (Exodus, 137).
4 tn Aram “his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.”
