19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold,
    and my refuge in the day of distress,
to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth,
    and they will say, “Our ancestors[a] have inherited only lies,[b]
    vanity, and there is no profit in them.
20 Can a human make for himself gods?
    Yet they are not gods!”
21 Therefore[c] look, I am about to let them know,
    this time I am going to let them know
my power[d] and my might,
    and they will know that my name is Yahweh.”
