Tell the Israelites that I, the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, have sent you to them. This is my name forever; this is what all future generations are to call me.

" LORD, who among the gods is like you? Who is like you, wonderful in holiness? Who can work miracles and mighty acts like yours?

"No one is holy like the LORD; there is none like him, no protector like our God.

How great you are, Sovereign LORD! There is none like you; we have always known that you alone are God.

With all my heart I will say to the LORD, "There is no one like you. You protect the weak from the strong, the poor from the oppressor."

There is no god like you, O Lord, not one has done what you have done.

No one in heaven is like you, LORD; none of the heavenly beings is your equal.

LORD God Almighty, none is as mighty as you; in all things you are faithful, O LORD.

There is no one like the LORD our God. He lives in the heights above,

To whom can God be compared? How can you describe what he is like?

To whom can the holy God be compared? Is there anyone else like him?

LORD, there is no one like you; you are mighty, and your name is great and powerful.

The God of Jacob is not like them; he is the one who made everything, and he has chosen Israel to be his very own people. The LORD Almighty is his name.

There is no other god like you, O LORD; you forgive the sins of your people who have survived. You do not stay angry forever, but you take pleasure in showing us your constant love.

Remember that the LORD your God is the only God and that he is faithful. He will keep his covenant and show his constant love to a thousand generations of those who love him and obey his commands,

" LORD God of Heaven! You are great, and we stand in fear of you. You faithfully keep your covenant with those who love you and do what you command.

"O God, our God, how great you are! How terrifying, how powerful! You faithfully keep your covenant promises. From the time when Assyrian kings oppressed us, even till now, how much we have suffered! Our kings, our leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors, and all our people have suffered. Remember how much we have suffered!

You said, "I have made a covenant with the man I chose; I have promised my servant David,

The heavens sing of the wonderful things you do; the holy ones sing of your faithfulness, LORD.

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed the sins of my people. I said, "Lord God, you are great, and we honor you. You are faithful to your covenant and show constant love to those who love you and do what you command.

You will be merciful to us once again. You will trample our sins underfoot and send them to the bottom of the sea!

You will show your faithfulness and constant love to your people, the descendants of Abraham and of Jacob, as you promised our ancestors long ago.

He said he would show mercy to our ancestors and remember his sacred covenant.

If you obey him, the LORD will keep the promise he made when he told me that my descendants would rule Israel as long as they were careful to obey his commands faithfully with all their heart and soul.

Solomon answered, "You always showed great love for my father David, your servant, and he was good, loyal, and honest in his relation with you. And you have continued to show him your great and constant love by giving him a son who today rules in his place.

"If you obey all my laws and commands, I will do for you what I promised your father David.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right.
