1 Chronicles 16:25-26

Context

16:25 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise,

he is more awesome than 1  all gods.

16:26 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, 2 

but the Lord made the heavens. 3 

1 tn Or “feared above.”

2 tn The Hebrew word אֱלִילִים (’elilim, “worthless”) sounds like אֱלֹהִים (’elohim, “gods”). The sound play draws attention to the statement. Many modern English translations render this term as “idols” here.

3 tn Or “the sky” (also in v. 31). The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.
