אֵל

Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;

I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.

And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:

And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,

Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.

But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?

Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.

Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,

Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:

I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)

And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.

Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.

Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.

Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
