Verses Mentioning God

To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
¶ Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
¶ We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.
