Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?

Study note
Setting — Moses and the Israelite congregation address Yahweh immediately after the destruction of Pharaoh's army in the sea (vv. 10–12), within the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15:1–18).
The words — נֶאְדָּר (ne'edar, H142) means "glorious, majestic," and קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh, H6944) means "holiness"; together they form the claim that Yahweh's distinction is not merely power but set-apartness.
The thread — 1 Samuel 2:2 states the same principle directly: "There is no one holy like the LORD." 1 Kings 8:23 echoes the comparative structure ("no God like You"), and Psalms 89:5 links holiness with the assembly of the holy ones who praise.
Why it lands — The verse locates God's uniqueness in holiness rather than in the number of wonders performed, which means the reader is asked to measure divine identity by set-apartness, not by spectacle.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
