“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh”, Moses did God ask
In Exodus three, God said He would be with Moses for the task
Moses asked what name he should use when referring to God
“I AM WHO I AM” came the response, which sounded a bit odd
“Yahweh is the God of your fathers” – of the entire Israelite nation
And that this was how He should be remembered in every generation
For although to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob He had appeared
His name Yahweh to them He had until this time not volunteered
“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed…and in times of trouble”
Psalm nine says that He will not forsake those, even in rubble
Exodus twenty verse seven says not to misuse the Lord’s name
He will punish anyone who does, the commandment does exclaim
We are to praise His greatness, per Deuteronomy 32 verse four
His works are perfect, his ways are just - and there is much more
We are to call on His name, per 1 Chronicles chapter sixteen
And make known to the nations all the wonders that have been
From Proverbs 18:10, the Lord’s name is a strong tower
“The righteous run to it and are safe” because of His power
Similarly, Jeremiah ten verse six does state
That “no one is like you, O Lord, you are great”
King David said to the Lord, in 2 Samuel seven verse twenty two
“How great you are, O Sovereign Lord…there is no God but you”
David also said that God had redeemed Israel as a nation
His “great and awesome wonders” are cause for celebration
God established the Israelites as His “very own forever”
Thus implying that God’s ties to them, nothing can sever
Psalm 68 says that God helps us escape from death
Psalm 70 states that God is our hope in every breath
He will destroy the unfaithful, as per Psalm seventy three
Being near God and making him our refuge is the key
“Lift up your heads, O you gates” says Psalm twenty four
So “that the King of glory may come in” through the door
For He is strong in battle and is the Lord Almighty
This is something on which the psalmists all agree
About angels singing, in Revelation fifteen John did write
“Just and true” are His ways, throughout both day and night
“All nations will come and worship before [Him]” per verse four
For revealed to all will be his righteous acts and so much more
In Job chapter thirty four, Elihu makes a statement quite strong
“Far be it from God to do evil” or “the Almighty to do wrong”
And for what a man and his conduct deserve, God will repay
“It is unthinkable…that God would pervert justice” Elihu did say
“The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power”
But because he does not oppress, we should not cower
Psalm ninety one says that God “is my refuge and fortress”
Acting as our “shield and rampart” will be his faithfulness
“I am the Alpha and the Omega”, said God in Revelation 1:8
“Who is, and who was, and who is to come” He did state
