24 O Lord God, you have now for the first time let your servant see your great power and the strength of your hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth able to do such great works and such acts of power?
And be certain in your minds this day; for these words are not said to your children, who have had no experience of the training of the Lord your God, and who have not seen his great power or his strong hand and his stretched-out arm,
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?
Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.
You have mercy on thousands, and send punishment for the evil-doing of the fathers on their children after them: the great, the strong God, the Lord of armies is his name: Great in wisdom and strong in act: whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone the reward of his ways and the fruit of his doings: You have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day, in Israel and among other men; and have made a name for yourself as at this day; And have taken your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, causing great fear;
And now, our God, the great, the strong, the God who is to be feared, who keeps faith and mercy, let not all this trouble seem small to you, which has come on us, and on our kings and our rulers and on our priests and our prophets and our fathers and on all your people from the time of the kings of Assyria till this day.
Whom then is God like, in your opinion? or what will you put forward as a comparison with him?
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.
Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?
For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?
