'One' in the Bible

How blessed is the one who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of scoffers!

The one enthroned in heaven laughs in disgust; the Lord taunts them.

But you, Lord, are a shield that protects me; you are my glory and the one who restores me.

For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks?

Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.

The Lord judges the nations. Vindicate me, Lord, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One!

The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright.

I will be happy and rejoice in you! I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One!

For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; he did not overlook their cry for help

when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the Lord.

You have taken notice, for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering. The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you; you deliver the fatherless.

People lie to one another; they flatter and deceive.

You, Lord, will protect them; you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,

Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one!

He does not charge interest when he lends his money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. The one who lives like this will never be upended.

The Lord thundered in the sky; the sovereign One shouted.

You prove to be loyal to one who is faithful; you prove to be trustworthy to one who is innocent.

You prove to be reliable to one who is blameless, but you prove to be deceptive to one who is perverse.

The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord's promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

The one true God gives me strength; he removes the obstacles in my way.

They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

The one true God completely vindicates me; he makes nations submit to me.

It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat.

The Lord's precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord's commands are pure and give insight for life.

Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb and made me feel secure on my mother's breasts.

Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.

The one whose deeds are blameless and whose motives are pure, who does not lie, or make promises with no intention of keeping them.

By David. The Lord delivers and vindicates me! I fear no one! The Lord protects my life! I am afraid of no one!

I have asked the Lord for one thing -- this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one's life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning.

I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about; I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar.

Love the Lord, all you faithful followers of his! The Lord protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly.

By David; a well-written song. How blessed is the one whose rebellious acts are forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!

How blessed is the one whose wrongdoing the Lord does not punish, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For this reason every one of your faithful followers should pray to you while there is a window of opportunity. Certainly when the surging water rises, it will not reach them.

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord's faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions.

Taste and see that the Lord is good! How blessed is the one who takes shelter in him!

The godly face many dangers, but the Lord saves them from each one of them.

He protects all his bones; not one of them is broken.

For you are the one who gives and sustains life.

How blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord and does not seek help from the proud or from liars!

O Lord, my God, you have accomplished many things; you have done amazing things and carried out your purposes for us. No one can thwart you! I want to declare them and talk about them, but they are too numerous to recount!

For the music director; a psalm of David. How blessed is the one who treats the poor properly! When trouble comes, the Lord delivers him.

All who hate me whisper insults about me to one another; they plan ways to harm me.

One deep stream calls out to another at the sound of your waterfalls; all your billows and waves overwhelm me.

The river's channels bring joy to the city of God, the special, holy dwelling place of the sovereign One.

Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.

Present to God a thank-offering! Repay your vows to the sovereign One!

Carefully consider this, you who reject God! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you.

Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one!

They say, "God has abandoned him. Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!"

I will express my thanks to you with a stringed instrument, praising your faithfulness, O my God! I will sing praises to you accompanied by a harp, O Holy One of Israel!

They say, "How does God know what we do? Is the sovereign one aware of what goes on?"

They are like a dream after one wakes up. O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.

Whom do I have in heaven but you? I desire no one but you on earth.

We do not see any signs of God's presence; there are no longer any prophets and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.

For God is the judge! He brings one down and exalts another.

Make vows to the Lord your God and repay them! Let all those who surround him bring tribute to the awesome one!

Then I said, "I am sickened by the thought that the sovereign One might become inactive.

Yet they continued to sin against him, and rebelled against the sovereign One in the desert.

They again challenged God, and offended the Holy One of Israel.

They have made their blood flow like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.

The Lord writes in the census book of the nations, "This one was born there." (Selah)

The Lord said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant:

You crushed the Proud One and killed it; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

Yes, in your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday that quickly passes, or like one of the divisions of the nighttime.

The days of our lives add up to seventy years, or eighty, if one is especially strong. But even one's best years are marred by trouble and oppression. Yes, they pass quickly and we fly away.

As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of the sovereign One, and resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king --

For you have taken refuge in the Lord, my shelter, the sovereign One.

A psalm; a song for the Sabbath day. It is fitting to thank the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O sovereign One!

Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings!

How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O Lord, the one whom you teach from your law,
