What an Awesome God

For You, O LORD, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You]; You surround him with favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:12)

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds and sustains me; Your gentleness [Your gracious response when I pray] makes me great.

You enlarge the path beneath me and make my steps secure, So that my feet will not slip. (Psalm 18:35-36)

But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.

With my voice I was crying to the LORD, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah (Psalm 3:3-4)

My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my rescuer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.

LORD, what is man that You take notice of him? Or the son of man that You think of him? (Psalm 144:2-3)

Who is like You among the gods, O LORD?

Who is like You, majestic in holiness,

Awesome in splendor, working wonders. (Ephesians 5:11) For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared [with awe-filled reverence] above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are [lifeless] idols, But the LORD made the heavens. (1 Chronicles 16:25-26) The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.

God made the earth by His power;

He established the world by His wisdom

And by His understanding and skill He has stretched out the heavens. (Jeremiah 10:11-12)

The heavens (angels) praise Your wonders, O LORD,

Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

For who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD?

Who among the divine beings is like the LORD,

A God greatly feared and reverently worshiped in the council of the holy [angelic] ones,

And awesome above all those who are around Him? (Psalm 89:5-7)
