Exegesis
A sequence of participles—nedar {נֶאְדָּר | ne-də-r} ‘majestic’, baqodesh {בַּקֹּדֶשׁ | ba-qō-deš} ‘in holiness’, nora {נוֹרָא | nôrâ} ‘awesome’, tehillot {תְּהִלֹּת | tə-hillôt} ‘praises’, oseh {עֹשֵׂה | ʿō-sê} ‘doing’, and pele {פֶּלֶא | p̄e-lê} ‘wonder’—builds a climactic crescendo characteristic of Hebrew poetry. The prepositional be- in baelim and baqodesh both underlines YHWH’s supremacy and His sacred presence. English parallelism and participial order are maintained to reflect the Hebrew poetic structure and highlight the theological focus on divine singularity and wondrous deeds.
In context — Exodus 15:11
Who is like You among the gods, O LORD ? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?
