Psalms 86:8

86:8 None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord!

Your exploits are incomparable! ¹ 

Psalms 135:5

135:5 Yes, ²  I know the Lord is great,

and our Lord is superior to all gods.

Psalms 138:1

Psalm 138 ³ 

By David.

138:1 I will give you thanks with all my heart;

before the heavenly assembly ⁴  I will sing praises to you.

[86:8]  ¹ tn Heb “and there are none like your acts.”

[135:5]  ² tn Or “for.”

[138:1]  ³ sn Psalm 138. The psalmist vows to thank the Lord for his deliverance and protection.

[138:1]  ⁴ tn The referent of the Hebrew term אֱלֹהִים (’elohim) is unclear. It refers either to the angelic assembly (see Gen 3:5; Ps 8:5) or to the pagan gods (see Pss 82:1, 6; 86:8; 97:7), in which case the psalmist’s praise takes on a polemical tone.
