The Hebrew word for "great" is "gadol," which conveys not only size but also importance, power, and majesty. In the ancient Near Eastern context, gods were often depicted as powerful beings, but the psalmist here emphasizes that the God of Israel surpasses all others in greatness. This greatness is not just in physical might but in moral and spiritual authority, setting the God of Israel apart from the pagan deities of surrounding nations.<p><b>and perform wonders</b><br />The Hebrew word for "wonders" is "pala," which refers to acts that are extraordinary and beyond human capability. This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the miraculous deeds of God, such as the parting of the Red Sea or the provision of manna in the wilderness. These wonders serve as a testament to God's active involvement in the world and His ability to intervene in human history in ways that defy natural explanation. The psalmist is reminding the reader of God's power to perform acts that reveal His divine nature and purpose.<p><b>You alone are God</b><br />This declaration of monotheism is central to the faith of Israel. The Hebrew word for "alone" is "levad," emphasizing exclusivity and singularity. In a polytheistic world where many gods were worshiped, this statement is a bold affirmation of the uniqueness of the God of Israel. The phrase underscores the belief that there is no other deity who shares in God's essence or authority. This exclusivity is foundational to the covenant relationship between God and His people, as it calls for undivided worship and allegiance. The psalmist is affirming that all other so-called gods are false and that the God of Israel is the one true God, deserving of all honor and praise.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/86.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">For thou art great, and doest wondrous things.</span> The" greatness" of God, in reality most clearly manifested by the facts of his ordinary providence, seems to men in general, as it seemed to this psalmist, especially indicated by the "wonders," or "miracles" - <span class="hebrew">&#x5e0;&#x5e4;&#x5dc;&#x5d0;&#x5d5;&#x5ea;</span> - which he wrought (comp. <a href="/exodus/15-11.htm">Exodus 15:11</a>;
