'God' in the Bible

Many say about me, "God will not deliver him." (Selah)

Rise up, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Yes, you will strike all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked.

Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you!

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you.

Condemn them, O God! May their own schemes be their downfall! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection, for they have rebelled against you.

A musical composition by David, which he sang to the Lord concerning a Benjaminite named Cush. O Lord my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me!

O Lord my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions,

May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives!

Rise up, Lord! O God, strike him down! Do not forget the oppressed!

Why does the wicked man reject God? He says to himself, "You will not hold me accountable."

Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God! Revive me, or else I will die!

I have been dependent on you since birth; from the time I came out of my mother's womb you have been my God.

Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord, and vindicated by the God who delivers them.

Vindicate me, O God! Fight for me against an ungodly nation! Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!

For you are the God who shelters me. Why do you reject me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?

Then I will go to the altar of God, to the God who gives me ecstatic joy, so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp.

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.
