God

Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.

Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.

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

He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:

“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!

I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.

But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,

how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!

Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.

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

God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.

O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.

See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.

With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,

For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—

who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”

Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.

so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
