I am the Lord, there is no other,
    there is no God besides me.
It is I who arm you, though you do not know me,
    so that all may know, from the rising of the sun
    to its setting, that there is none besides me.[a]
I am the Lord, there is no other.
    I form the light, and create the darkness,
I make weal and create woe;[b]
    I, the Lord, do all these things.
