10 But the Lord is the only true God.
    He is the only God who is alive.
    He is the King who rules forever.
The earth shakes when he is angry.
    The people of the nations cannot stop his anger.

11 The Lord says, “Tell them this message:
    ‘These false gods did not make heaven and earth.
    They will be destroyed and disappear from heaven and earth.’”[a]

12 God is the one who used his power and made the earth.
    He used his wisdom and built the world.
    With his understanding he stretched the sky over the earth.
