O Lord
The term "Lord" here is translated from the Hebrew word "Adonai," which signifies a master or sovereign. In the context of this psalm, it emphasizes God's supreme authority and dominion over all creation. Historically, the Israelites recognized God as their ultimate ruler, distinct from earthly kings or rulers. This acknowledgment of God's lordship is a central theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, underscoring His unparalleled power and governance.

there is none like You
This phrase highlights the uniqueness and incomparability of God. The Hebrew word "kamocha" (like You) is used to express that no other being or entity can match God's attributes, character, or essence. In the ancient Near Eastern context, where polytheism was prevalent, this declaration served as a bold affirmation of monotheism, setting the God of Israel apart from the myriad of deities worshiped by surrounding nations.

among the gods
The term "gods" here, translated from the Hebrew "elohim," can refer to divine beings or idols worshiped by other cultures. In the historical context of the psalm, this phrase acknowledges the existence of other so-called gods but firmly asserts that they are inferior to the one true God. This reflects the biblical narrative that, while other nations may have their deities, none can compare to the God of Israel in power, majesty, or reality.

nor any works like Yours
This phrase emphasizes the unparalleled nature of God's actions and deeds. The Hebrew word "ma'aseh" (works) refers to God's creative and redemptive acts throughout history. From the creation of the world to the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, God's works are depicted as mighty and wondrous. This assertion serves as a reminder of God's active involvement in the world and His ability to accomplish what no other being can. It inspires believers to trust in God's providence and power, knowing that His works are both unique and unmatched.

(8) For the sources of this verse see marginal reference and Exodus 15:11. After expressing his conviction of God's willingness to hear prayer, the psalmist goes on to his confidence in Divine power to save.

Verse 8. - Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord (see the Song of Moses, Exodus 15:11). The imaginary gods of the heathen - not, perhaps, known to the psalmist to be wholly imaginary - are probably meant (comp. Psalm 77:19; Psalm 89:6; Psalm 95:3). Neither are there any works like unto thy works. So in Deuteronomy 3:24, "What god is there in heaven or in earth that can do according to thy works?"
