Morning light falls on two people beside an open window, one holding a scroll.

"He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he."

— Deuteronomy 32:4 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the god of truth want Scripture on Deuteronomy 32:4's El emunah / Psalm 31:5's El emet — God as the faithful God of truth — not only the truth virtue inventory alone, not faithful and true alone, and not spirit of truth alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about truth, Bible verses about faithful and true, Bible verses about spirit of truth, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. God of truth here means Deuteronomy 32:4's faithful God and Psalm 31:5's El emet — the Name that cannot lie — distinct from general truth-speaking and Revelation faithful-and-true title inventories alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, אֱמֶת emet (Strong's H571; Bible Hub H571) means truth / faithfulness / reliability, and אֱמוּנָה emunah (Strong's H530; Bible Hub H530) means faithfulness / firmness. Deuteronomy 32:4 names God El emunah — a faithful God — and Psalm 31:5 calls him El emet, the God of truth. This list tracks that God-of-truth Name line and related "God who does not lie / true God / God of amen" language, not every truth-virtue verse alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Deuteronomy 32 presses that God is the Rock whose work is perfect — a God of truth without iniquity (Bible Hub MHC Deuteronomy 32; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Deuteronomy 32). (Truth and faithful-and-true live on those pages; this list centers the God-of-truth Name.)
