God: Truth

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.

Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.”

All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

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

For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.

So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.

He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.

For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

For great is His loving devotion toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Hallelujah!

The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

…the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You have worked wonders—plans formed long ago—in perfect faithfulness.

Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,

But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”

However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?

…in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who dwell upon the earth and avenge our blood?”

…and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!
