The greatness of God is often associated with His power, majesty, and sovereignty over all creation. In the context of the Psalms, this greatness is a source of comfort and assurance for the believer. The greatness of God is also highlighted in passages like <a href="/isaiah/40-28.htm">Isaiah 40:28</a>, which speaks of God's everlasting nature and unsearchable understanding. The acknowledgment of God's greatness is a call to worship and reverence, recognizing His supreme authority and unmatched power.<p><b>and perform wonders;</b><br>The wonders performed by God refer to His miraculous acts throughout history, which demonstrate His power and divine intervention in the world. These wonders include the creation of the universe, the parting of the Red Sea, and the miracles performed by Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, wonders often served as signs to confirm God's presence and authority, as seen in the plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7-12) and the provision of manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16). In the New Testament, the miracles of Jesus, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, further reveal God's power and compassion. These wonders are a testament to God's active involvement in His creation and His ability to transcend natural laws.<p><b>You alone are God.</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the monotheistic belief central to the faith, affirming that there is only one true God. This declaration sets the God of Israel apart from the polytheistic beliefs of surrounding nations in biblical times. The exclusivity of God is a recurring theme in Scripture, as seen in passages like <a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4</a>, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." This statement also serves as a rejection of idolatry, which was prevalent in the ancient Near East. The assertion that God alone is God underscores His uniqueness, sovereignty, and the futility of worshiping other gods or idols.
