'God' in the Bible

When God heard this, He was filled with [righteous] wrath;And utterly rejected Israel, [greatly hating her ways],

O God, the nations have invaded [the land of Your people] Your inheritance;They have defiled Your sacred temple;They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;Rescue us, forgive us our sins for Your name’s sake.

Why should the [Gentile] nations say, “Where is their God?”Let there be known [without delay] among the nations in our sight [and to this generation],Your vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been poured out.

Restore us, O God;Cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

O Lord God of hosts,How long will You be angry with the prayers of Your people?

Restore us, O God of hosts;And cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

The mountains were covered with its shadow,And its branches were like the cedars of God.

Turn again [in favor to us], O God of hosts;Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;Cause Your face to shine on us [in favor and approval], and we shall be saved.

Sing aloud to God our strength;Shout for joy to the God of Jacob (Israel).

For this is a statute for Israel,An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

“Let there be no strange god among you,Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

“I am the Lord your God,Who brought you up from the land of Egypt.Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

“But I would feed Israel with the finest of the wheat;And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

God stands in the divine assembly;He judges among the gods (divine beings).

Arise, O God, judge the earth!For to You belong all the nations.

Do not keep silent, O God;Do not hold Your peace or be still, O God.

Who said, “Let us possess for ourselvesThe pastures of God.”

O my God, make them like whirling dust,Like chaff before the wind [worthless and without substance].

My soul (my life, my inner self) longs for and greatly desires the courts of the Lord;My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

The bird has found a house,And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young—Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,My King and my God.

They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power];Each of them appears before God in Zion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;Listen, O God of Jacob! Selah.

See our shield, O God,And look at the face of Your anointed [the king as Your representative].

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else];I would rather stand [as a doorkeeper] at the threshold of the house of my GodThan to live [at ease] in the tents of wickedness.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor;No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Restore us, O God of our salvation,And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

I will hear [with expectant hope] what God the Lord will say,For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones—But let them not turn again to folly.

Surely His salvation is near to those who [reverently] fear Him [and obey Him with submissive wonder],That glory [the manifest presence of God] may dwell in our land.

Protect my life (soul), for I am godly and faithful;O You my God, save Your servant, who trusts in You [believing in You and relying on You, confidently committing everything to You].

For You are great and do wondrous works!You alone are God.

I will give thanks and praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart;And will glorify Your name forevermore.

O God, arrogant and insolent men have risen up against me;A band of violent men have sought my life,And they have not set You before them.

But You, O Lord, are a God [who protects and is] merciful and gracious,Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.

His foundation is on the holy mountain.

Glorious things are spoken of you,O city of God [Jerusalem]. Selah.

“I will mention Rahab (Egypt) and Babylon among those who know Me—Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia (Cush)—‘This one was born there.’”

The singers as well as the players of flutes will say,“All my springs and sources of joy are in you [Jerusalem, city of God].”

O Lord, the God of my salvation,I have cried out [for help] by day and in the night before You.

A God greatly feared and reverently worshiped in the council of the holy [angelic] ones,And awesome above all those who are around Him?

O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord?Your faithfulness surrounds You [as an intrinsic, unchangeable part of Your very being].

“He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father,My God, and the rock of my salvation.’

Before the mountains were bornOr before You had given birth to the earth and the world,Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are [the eternal] God.

And let the [gracious] favor of the Lord our God be on us;Confirm for us the work of our hands—Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”

Planted in the house of the Lord,They will flourish in the courts of our God.

O Lord God, You to whom vengeance belongs,O God, You to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth [in judgment]!

Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,Nor does the God of Jacob (Israel) notice it.”

But the Lord has become my high tower and defense,And my God the rock of my refuge.

He has turned back their own wickedness upon themAnd will destroy them by means of their own evil;The Lord our God will wipe them out.

For the Lord is a great GodAnd a great King above all gods,

For He is our GodAnd we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.Today, if you will hear His voice,

You who love the Lord, hate evil;He protects the souls of His godly ones (believers),He rescues them from the hand of the wicked.

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones [those whose moral and spiritual integrity places them in right standing with God],And praise and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

He has [graciously] remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;All the ends of the earth have witnessed the salvation of our God.

Exalt the Lord our GodAnd worship at His footstool;Holy is He.

You answered them, O Lord our God;You were a forgiving God to them,And yet an avenger of their evil practices.

Exalt the Lord our GodAnd worship at His holy hill [Zion, the temple mount],For the Lord our God is holy.

I said, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days;Your years are [eternal] throughout all generations.

He is the Lord our God;His judgments are in all the earth.

Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God’s precepts],Who practice righteousness at all times.

But lusted intensely in the wildernessAnd tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert.

They forgot God their Savior,Who had done such great things in Egypt,

And that was credited to him for righteousness,To all generations forever.

Many times He rescued them;But they were rebellious in their counsel,And sank down in their wickedness.

Save us, O Lord our God,And gather us from among the nations,That we may give thanks to Your holy nameAnd glory in praising You.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,From everlasting even to everlasting.And let all the people say, “Amen.”Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Because they had rebelled against the precepts of GodAnd spurned the counsel of the Most High.

O God, my heart is steadfast [with confident faith];I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

Be exalted [in majesty], O God, above the heavens,And Your glory above all the earth.

God has spoken in His holiness:“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

Have You not rejected us, O God?And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?

With God we will do valiantly,For it is He who will trample down our enemies.

O God of my praise!Do not keep silent,

But You, O God, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name’s sake;Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me;

Help me, O Lord my God;Save me according to Your lovingkindness—

The Lord (Father) says to my Lord (the Messiah, His Son),“Sit at My right handUntil I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet [subjugating them into complete submission].”

Light arises in the darkness for the upright;He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God).

He will never be shaken;The righteous will be remembered forever.

He has given freely to the poor;His righteousness endures forever;His horn will be exalted in honor.

Who is like the Lord our God,Who is enthroned on high,

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel),

Why should the nations say,“Where, now, is their God?”

But our God is in heaven;He does whatever He pleases.

Gracious is the Lord, and [consistently] righteous;Yes, our God is compassionate.

I believed [and clung to my God] when I said,“I am greatly afflicted.”

The Lord is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy].Bind the festival sacrifices with cords to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;[You are] my God, I extol You.

How blessed and favored by God are those whose way is blameless [those with personal integrity, the upright, the guileless],Who walk in the law [and who are guided by the precepts and revealed will] of the Lord.

Leave me, you evildoers,That I may keep the commandments of my God [honoring and obeying them].

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God [which is Jerusalem],I will seek your (the city’s) good.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,And as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,So our eyes look to the Lord our God,Until He is gracious and favorable toward us.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways [in unresponsiveness to God],The Lord will lead them away with those who do evil.Peace be upon Israel.

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness (right living),And let Your godly ones shout for joy.

You who stand in the house of the Lord,In the courts of the house of our God,
