God

I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.

Yet God finds occasions against me; He counts me as His enemy.

Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.

He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.

He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.

Behold, all these things God does to a man, two or even three times,

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

For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’

Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.

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

For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.

Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.

Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed Him? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.

For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”

“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’

But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,

Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it.

Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.

Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?

Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.

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

By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.

Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God.

Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?

…while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God as they wander about for lack of food?

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

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”

Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah

Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.

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

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

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

God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

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

In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.

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

Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.

Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.

A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.

For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.

The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—

…the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?

I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.

From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.

He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.

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

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

Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

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

…that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.

Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.

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

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!

Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!

Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?
