Jehovah in the Bible

Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

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

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah; And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?

They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me, And his word was upon my tongue.

He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.

But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great victory.

And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah.

And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this:'shall I drink the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.

And Joab said unto the king, Now Jehovah thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?

And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in that which I have done: but now, O Jehovah, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

And when David rose up in the morning, the word of Jehovah came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

Go and speak unto David, Thus saith Jehovah, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.

So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Jehovah repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

And David spake unto Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Jehovah commanded.

And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

all this, O king, doth Araunah give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price. Neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So Jehovah was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
