'God' in the Bible

Many are saying of my soul,“There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah.

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!You have relieved me in my distress;Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,For to You I pray.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;No evil dwells with You.

Hold them guilty, O God;By their own devices let them fall!In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out,For they are rebellious against You.

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge;Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

O Lord my God, if I have done this,If there is injustice in my hands,

O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous;For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.

My shield is with God,Who saves the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge,And a God who has indignation every day.

Yet You have made him a little lower than God,And You crown him with glory and majesty!

The wicked will return to Sheol,Even all the nations who forget God.

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

He says to himself, “God has forgotten;He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”

Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand.Do not forget the afflicted.

Why has the wicked spurned God?He has said to himself, “You will not require it.”

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;There is no one who does good.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of menTo see if there are any who understand,Who seek after God.

There they are in great dread,For God is with the righteous generation.

A Mikhtam of David.Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.

The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood,Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

In my distress I called upon the Lord,And cried to my God for help;He heard my voice out of His temple,And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord,And have not wickedly departed from my God.

For You light my lamp;The Lord my God illumines my darkness.

For by You I can run upon a troop;And by my God I can leap over a wall.

As for God, His way is blameless;The word of the Lord is tried;He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is God, but the Lord?And who is a rock, except our God,

The God who girds me with strengthAnd makes my way blameless?

The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock;And exalted be the God of my salvation,

The God who executes vengeance for me,And subdues peoples under me.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.The heavens are telling of the glory of God;And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!

We will sing for joy over your victory,And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Some boast in chariots and some in horses,But we will boast in the name of the Lord, our God.

For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.

O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;And by night, but I have no rest.

Upon You I was cast from birth;You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

He shall receive a blessing from the LordAnd righteousness from the God of his salvation.

O my God, in You I trust,Do not let me be ashamed;Do not let my enemies exult over me.

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,For You are the God of my salvation;For You I wait all the day.

Redeem Israel, O God,Out of all his troubles.

Do not hide Your face from me,Do not turn Your servant away in anger;You have been my help;Do not abandon me nor forsake me,O God of my salvation!

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;The God of glory thunders,The Lord is over many waters.

O Lord my God,I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Into Your hand I commit my spirit;You have ransomed me, O Lord, God of truth.

But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,I say, “You are my God.”

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Stir up Yourself, and awake to my rightAnd to my cause, my God and my Lord.

Judge me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness,And do not let them rejoice over me.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart;There is no fear of God before his eyes.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;Your judgments are like a great deep.O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

The law of his God is in his heart;His steps do not slip.

For I hope in You, O Lord;You will answer, O Lord my God.

Do not forsake me, O Lord;O my God, do not be far from me!

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;Many will see and fearAnd will trust in the Lord.

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done,And Your thoughts toward us;There is none to compare with You.If I would declare and speak of them,They would be too numerous to count.

I delight to do Your will, O my God;Your Law is within my heart.”

Since I am afflicted and needy,Let the Lord be mindful of me.You are my help and my deliverer;Do not delay, O my God.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,From everlasting to everlasting.Amen and Amen.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.As the deer pants for the water brooks,So my soul pants for You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;When shall I come and appear before God?

My tears have been my food day and night,While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me.For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God,With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?And why have you become disturbed within me?Hope in God, for I shall again praise HimFor the help of His presence.

O my God, my soul is in despair within me;Therefore I remember You from the land of the JordanAnd the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime;And His song will be with me in the night,A prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me,While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Why are you in despair, O my soul?And why have you become disturbed within me?Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,The help of my countenance and my God.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Then I will go to the altar of God,To God my exceeding joy;And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?And why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,The help of my countenance and my God.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.O God, we have heard with our ears,Our fathers have told usThe work that You did in their days,In the days of old.

You are my King, O God;Command victories for Jacob.

In God we have boasted all day long,And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.

If we had forgotten the name of our GodOr extended our hands to a strange god,

Would not God find this out?For He knows the secrets of the heart.

You are fairer than the sons of men;Grace is poured upon Your lips;Therefore God has blessed You forever.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;Therefore God, Your God, has anointed YouWith the oil of joy above Your fellows.

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.God is our refuge and strength,A very present help in trouble.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;God will help her when morning dawns.

The Lord of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

God has ascended with a shout,The Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.

Sing praises to God, sing praises;Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

For God is the King of all the earth;Sing praises with a skillful psalm.

God reigns over the nations,God sits on His holy throne.

The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham,For the shields of the earth belong to God;He is highly exalted.

A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
