He brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power,^{(A) 38} driving out before you nations greater and mightier than yourselves, to bring you in, giving you their land for a possession, as it is still today.^{(B) 39} So acknowledge today and take to heart that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.^(C)
