listen to his prayer. In heaven, where you live, hear him and do what he asks you to do, so that all the peoples of the world may know you and obey you, as your people Israel do. Then they will know that this Temple I have built is the place where you are to be worshiped.

Because of this everyone on earth will know how great the LORD's power is, and you will honor the LORD your God forever."

This very day the LORD will put you in my power; I will defeat you and cut off your head. And I will give the bodies of the Philistine soldiers to the birds and animals to eat. Then the whole world will know that Israel has a God,

Now, LORD our God, rescue us from the Assyrians, so that all the nations of the world will know that only you, O LORD, are God."

When the people saw this, they threw themselves on the ground and exclaimed, "The LORD is God; the LORD alone is God!"

The LORD has shown you this, to prove to you that he alone is God and that there is no other.

So remember today and never forget: the LORD is God in heaven and on earth. There is no other god.

The LORD, who rules and protects Israel, the LORD Almighty, has this to say: "I am the first, the last, the only God; there is no other god but me.

Do not be afraid, my people! You know that from ancient times until now I have predicted all that would happen, and you are my witnesses. Is there any other god? Is there some powerful god I never heard of ?"

"I am the LORD, your savior; I am the one who created you. I am the LORD, the Creator of all things. I alone stretched out the heavens; when I made the earth, no one helped me.

"I am the LORD; there is no other god. I will give you the strength you need, although you do not know me.

I do this so that everyone from one end of the world to the other may know that I am the LORD and that there is no other god.

"Turn to me now and be saved, people all over the world! I am the only God there is.

But you, LORD, are the true God, you are the living God and the eternal king. When you are angry, the world trembles; the nations cannot endure your anger.

The LORD made the earth by his power; by his wisdom he created the world and stretched out the heavens.

Then, Israel, you will know that I am among you and that I, the LORD, am your God and there is no other. My people will never be despised again.
