You are God, there is no other

In Korea, in my first full day in Osanri, God impressed upon me that I was not to bring my petitions to Him yet. No, the first day was to be spent meditating on His Majesty. It was to be spent giving Him praise. So I spent the day reading all 66 books of Isaiah, after which He said to me, turn the verses I had jotted down into a personal prayer (It's largely from Isaiah, but I've also added in a verse here and there from the book of Daniel, and the Psalms). Here it is - Praise the Lord!

You are God, there is no other

O God, you are the eternal King
There is no other
You rule and reign in majesty
Awesome in power, mighty in deed
You make heaven your throne
And the earth your footstool
You dwell in the high and holy place.
You are high and lifted up.
Yet, you are a God who is near and not afar off,
You are with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit
Hallelujah! Praise you O King!

You are Creator God
Before the world existed, you were
You stretched out the heavens like a tent to dwell in
And laid the foundations of the earth
You brought out the starry host by number
And called them each by name
You measured the waters of the sea in the hollow of your hand
Enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance
Hallelujah, Praise you O King!

You are the Sovereign God
And have complete rule over all the affairs of Man
You change times and seasons
Remove kings and set up kings
You call a bird of prey from the East
And a man of your counsel from a far country
All the nations are as nothing before you
They are accounted by you as nothing and emptiness
What you have spoken, you bring to pass
What you purpose, you will do
Hallelujah, Praise you O King!

You are Lord of Hosts
God over all nature, heavenly and angelic hosts
You form light and create darkness
Make well-being and create calamity
By your rebuke you dry up the seas
And make the rivers a desert
By your word, you make a way in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert
You make your messengers winds,
Your ministers a flaming fire
Hallelujah, Praise you O King!

You are Kings of Kings, Lord of Lords
A loving God, and a fearsome Judge
When you want to exact vengeance and judgement
You muster a host for battle
They come from a distant land
From the ends of the heavens
They shall come in fire
And in chariots that are like the whirlwind
You go out like a mighty man
And show yourself mighty against your foes
Hallelujah, Praise you O King!

You are God, there is no other.
