> O sole god, like whom there is no other!
> Thou didst create the world according to thy desire,
> Whilst thou wert alone: All men, cattle, and wild beasts,
> Whatever is on earth, going upon (its) feet,
> And what is on high, flying with its wings.
> For me, this sounds like a paean to Yelm during Re-Ascent period when all foreign influences were purged from the cults. Interestingly, this is very similar to the effects on Egyptian cults during the early New Kingdom period after they drove out the Hyscos, which was when the hymn was written)
Not to me - terms like "sole god" or "whilst thou wert alone" emphasize monotheism. Anyone who has seen the Gods Wall knows that Yelm is the god who rules the many. But I could imagine this as a paean to Idovanus.
