In the ancient Near Eastern context, many cultures worshiped a pantheon of gods, each with specific domains and powers. The psalmist, however, declares the Lord's incomparability, affirming monotheism in a polytheistic world. This echoes the first commandment in <a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3</a>, "You shall have no other gods before Me," and highlights the Lord's sovereignty over all creation. The phrase also foreshadows the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ, who is described as having "the name above every name" (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9</a>).<p><b>nor any works like Yours</b><br>This part of the verse acknowledges the unparalleled deeds of the Lord. The works of God include creation, providence, and redemption, which are unmatched by any other deity or power. The miracles performed throughout the Bible, from the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14) to the resurrection of Jesus (Matthew 28), demonstrate God's mighty works. This phrase invites reflection on the historical acts of God in Israel's history and the fulfillment of His promises through Christ, who performed works that testified to His divine nature (<a href="/john/10-25.htm">John 10:25</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/86.htm">Psalm 86</a>, David is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for his deep relationship with God, his psalms, and his role as the second king of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, Yahweh is the God of Israel, known for His uniqueness and incomparable works.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_gods.htm">The gods</a></b><br>Refers to the false gods or idols worshiped by surrounding nations, highlighting the contrast between them and the one true God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_uniqueness_of_god.htm">The Uniqueness of God</a></b><br>Recognize and affirm that there is no one like God in power, wisdom, and love.
