19 Lord, you give me strength.
    You are the safe place where I can hide.
When I am in trouble,
    I can run to you and be safe.
People will come from nations all over the earth,
    to give you honour.
They will say, ‘Our ancestors worshipped false gods.
    Those gods were useless and they could not help us.
20 Can people make gods for themselves?
    If they make them, they are not really gods.’

21 ‘So I, the Lord, will teach these people about my great power.
Then they will understand that I am the Lord,
the true God.’[a]
