Quick answer
There is none like Yahweh, whose name is great in might. He stands utterly above all idols.
Overview
In contrast to lifeless idols, the prophet bursts into praise of Yahweh's incomparable greatness and powerful name. The verse turns from polemic to worship, exalting the uniqueness of the true God. Such adoration is the fitting response to seeing idols for what they are, and it anticipates the universal acknowledgment of God's supremacy revealed fully in Christ, who bears the name above every name.
