“O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?”
'O Lord GOD, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do works and mighty acts like yours?' -- Moses' prayer acknowledges the LORD's superiority and the beginning of mighty acts. The rhetorical question ('what god...?') asserts monotheistic conviction: no other god matches the LORD's power. Moses prays in full theological awareness.
