'God' in the Bible

For what portion would I have from God above,or what inheritance from the Almighty on high?

let God weigh me in accurate scales,and He will recognize my integrity.

what could I do when God stands up to judge?How should I answer Him when He calls me to account?

Did not the One who made me in the womb also make them?Did not the same God form us both in the womb?

For disaster from God terrifies me,and because of His majesty I could not do these things.

this would also be a crime deserving punishment,for I would have denied God above.

Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite from the family of Ram became angry. He was angry at Job because he had justified himself rather than God.

So do not claim, “We have found wisdom;let God deal with him, not man.”

The Spirit of God has made me,and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

I am just like you before God;I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.

But I tell you that you are wrong in this matter,since God is greater than man.

For God speaks time and again,but a person may not notice it.

God spares his soul from the Pit,his life from crossing the river of death.

He will pray to God, and God will delight in him.That man will see His face with a shout of joy,and God will restore his righteousness to him.

God certainly does all these thingstwo or three times to a man

For Job has declared, “I am righteous,yet God has deprived me of justice.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding.It is impossible for God to do wrong,and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedlyand the Almighty does not pervert justice.

God is not partial to princesand does not favor the rich over the poor,for they are all the work of His hands.

God does not need to examine a person further,that one should approach Him in court.

But when God is silent, who can declare Him guilty?When He hides His face, who can see Him?Yet He watches over both individuals and nations,

Suppose someone says to God,“I have endured my punishment;I will no longer act wickedly.

Should God repay you on your termswhen you have rejected His?You must choose, not I!So declare what you know.

For he adds rebellion to his sin;he scornfully claps in our presence,while multiplying his words against God.

Do you think it is just when you say,“I am righteous before God”?

If you sin, how does it affect God?If you multiply your transgressions, what does it do to Him?

But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker,who provides us with songs in the night,

Indeed, God does not listen to empty cries,and the Almighty does not take note of it—

Yes, God is mighty, but He despises no one;He understands all things.

God tells them what they have doneand how arrogantly they have transgressed.

Those who have a godless heart harbor anger;even when God binds them, they do not cry for help.

God rescues the afflicted by their affliction;He instructs them by their torment.

Look, God shows Himself exalted by His power.Who is a teacher like Him?

Yes, God is exalted beyond our knowledge;the number of His years cannot be counted.

Then there comes a roaring sound;God thunders with His majestic voice.He does not restrain the lightningwhen His rumbling voice is heard.

God thunders marvelously with His voice;He does great things that we cannot comprehend.

Ice is formed by the breath of God,and watery expanses are frozen.

Do you know how God directs His cloudsor makes their lightning flash?

can you help God spread out the skiesas hard as a cast metal mirror?

while the morning stars sang togetherand all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Who provides the raven’s foodwhen its young cry out to Godand wander about for lack of food? >

For God has deprived her of wisdom;He has not endowed her with understanding.

Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?Let him who argues with God give an answer.

Many say about me,“There is no help for him in God.”Selah

Rise up, Lord!Save me, my God!You strike all my enemies on the cheek;You break the teeth of the wicked.

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic psalm.Answer me when I call,God, who vindicates me.You freed me from affliction;be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

Pay attention to the sound of my cry,my King and my God,for I pray to You.

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;evil cannot dwell with You.

Punish them, God;let them fall by their own schemes.Drive them out because of their many crimes,for they rebel against You.

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.Yahweh my God, I seek refuge in You;save me from all my pursuers and rescue me

Yahweh my God, if I have done this,if there is injustice on my hands,

Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,but establish the righteous.The One who examines the thoughts and emotionsis a righteous God.

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

God is a righteous judgeand a God who shows His wrath every day.

If anyone does not repent,God will sharpen His sword;He has strung His bow and made it ready.

You made him little less than Godand crowned him with glory and honor.

The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations that forget God.

In all his scheming,the wicked arrogantly thinks:“There is no accountability,since God does not exist.”

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

Rise up, Lord God! Lift up Your hand.Do not forget the afflicted.

Why has the wicked person despised God?He says to himself, “You will not demand an account.”

Consider me and answer, Lord my God.Restore brightness to my eyes;otherwise, I will sleep in death.

For the choir director. Davidic.The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.”They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.There is no one who does good.

The Lord looks down from heaven on the human raceto see if there is one who is wise,one who seeks God.

Then they will be filled with terror,for God is with those who are righteous.

A Davidic Miktam.Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.

The sorrows of those who take another godfor themselves will multiply;I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,and I will not speak their names with my lips.

I call on You, God,because You will answer me;listen closely to me; hear what I say.

The Lord is my rock,my fortress, and my deliverer,my God, my mountain where I seek refuge,my shield and the horn of my salvation,my stronghold.

I called to the Lord in my distress,and I cried to my God for help.From His temple He heard my voice,and my cry to Him reached His ears.

For I have kept the ways of the Lordand have not turned from my God to wickedness.

Lord, You light my lamp;my God illuminates my darkness.

With You I can attack a barrier,and with my God I can leap over a wall.

God—His way is perfect;the word of the Lord is pure.He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is God besides Yahweh?And who is a rock? Only our God.

God—He clothes me with strengthand makes my way perfect.

The Lord lives—may my rock be praised!The God of my salvation is exalted.

God—He gives me vengeanceand subdues peoples under me.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.The heavens declare the glory of God,and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble;may the name of Jacob’s God protect you.

Let us shout for joy at your victoryand lift the banner in the name of our God.May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God.

For the choir director: according to “The Deer of the Dawn.” A Davidic psalm.My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?Why are You so far from my deliveranceand from my words of groaning?

My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer,by night, yet I have no rest.

I was given over to You at birth;You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

He will receive blessing from the Lord,and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Such is the generation of those who seek Him,who seek the face of the God of Jacob.Selah

My God, I trust in You.Do not let me be disgraced;do not let my enemies gloat over me.

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

God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.

Do not hide Your face from me;do not turn Your servant away in anger.You have been my helper;do not leave me or abandon me,God of my salvation.

The voice of the Lord is above the waters.The God of glory thunders—the Lord, above vast waters,

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

so that I can sing to You and not be silent.Lord my God, I will praise You forever.

Into Your hand I entrust my spirit;You redeem me, Lord, God of truth.

But I trust in You, Lord;I say, “You are my God.”

Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh—the people He has chosen to be His own possession!

Wake up and rise to my defense,to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Vindicate me, Lord my God,in keeping with Your righteousness,and do not let them rejoice over me.

For the choir director. A psalm of David, the Lord’s servant.An oracle within my heartconcerning the transgression of the wicked person:There is no dread of God before his eyes,
