8 None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable! There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name.
