5. I am Adonai—there is no other. Besides Me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known Me,
6. so they may know, from the rising to the setting of the sun, that there is no one besides Me. I am Adonai—there is no other.
7. I form light and create darkness. I make shalom and create calamity. I, Adonai, do all these things.
8. “Rain down, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds pour down justice. Let the earth open up, let salvation sprout, and righteousness spring up with it. I, Adonai, have created it.”
