Meaning & Inspiration
Folabi Nuel’s "Yahweh Be Praised," released on June 29, 2023, is a powerful and uncomplicated declaration of God's incomparable majesty and worthiness. From its very core, the song is a direct call to worship, distilling profound theological truths into an accessible and repeatable anthem. It doesn't aim for complex narrative or intricate metaphor; instead, it focuses on the unshakeable pillars of who God is and what He deserves from His creation. The message is clear: Yahweh, the self-existent, covenant-keeping God, stands alone in His power and glory, and our response must be one of unreserved praise. This central theme underpins every line, shaping it into a fervent and focused act of adoration.
The song opens with the declarative question, "Who is like you? Who can do the things you do, Yahweh? Nobody like you." This rhetorical inquiry is not seeking an answer, but rather reinforcing an undeniable truth, echoing numerous biblical affirmations. For instance, Isaiah 46:9 challenges humanity to "Remember the former things, of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me." Similarly, Psalm 86:8 declares, "There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours." Folabi Nuel skillfully channels this ancient testament of divine uniqueness, emphasizing that God’s actions, His very nature, set Him apart from everything else conceived or worshipped. He is then further exalted as "King of Glory," a title laden with biblical significance, recalling Psalm 24:7-10 which asks, "Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle," before proclaiming Him as the "LORD of hosts." This imagery expands the scope of His dominion, asserting that "All the nations bow before you, Yahweh," a prophecy frequently seen in Scripture, such as in Philippians 2:10-11, where "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow...and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord." The song firmly establishes God’s universal sovereignty, reminding us that His rule extends over every people and power.
The repeated declaration, "No one besides you," reinforces the monotheistic foundation of biblical faith, a truth consistently taught from passages like Deuteronomy 4:35, where Moses tells Israel, "The LORD is God; besides him there is no other." This exclusivity of God's nature is paramount to the song’s message, leading to the confident assertion that "For eternity your name is exalted Lord, God of everything, forever be glorified." This speaks to God’s everlasting nature and His inherent worthiness of perpetual honor, as reflected in Psalm 145:13, which states, "Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations." The name "Yahweh" itself, central to the song's refrain, carries immense weight, denoting God's self-existence and His covenant faithfulness, as revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14 ("I AM WHO I AM"). When the song repeatedly calls out "Yahweh Yahweh Yahweh, Be praised," it's not merely a chorus; it is a profound act of worship, an acknowledgment of the eternal, unchangeable One. The repetition itself serves to engrain this truth, making the worship not just a momentary expression but a deeply resonant conviction.
The concluding segment powerfully restates, "No one like you, None besides you," before culminating in the direct affirmation, "He’s worthy of our praise." This line encapsulates the entire purpose of the song, drawing those who sing or hear it into an understanding that God's intrinsic worthiness demands our adoration. Revelation 5:12 provides a majestic picture of this universal worthiness: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" Folabi Nuel's "Yahweh Be Praised" strips away complexity to present worship in its purest form—a fervent, unadulterated acknowledgment of God's singular identity and infinite value. It is a compelling invitation to set aside distractions and participate in the timeless act of exalting the One who is truly incomparable, inspiring a deep sense of reverence and belonging to a global community that finds its highest purpose in glorifying Him. The composition acts as a spiritual anchor, bringing minds and spirits back to the foundational truth of who God is and why He alone deserves all praise, fostering both personal reflection and collective adoration.
