Two travelers share one cloak as they walk side by side on a windy road.

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

— Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about God's faithfulness want Scripture on the faithfulness of YHWH himself — not only the broader faithfulness virtue list 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 faithfulness, Bible verses about trust, Bible verses about promises, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about mercy, and Bible verse of the day. God's faithfulness here means emunah / pistos — the Lord keeping his word — distinct from human faithfulness themes alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, "faithfulness" is often אֱמוּנָה emunah (Strong's H530; Bible Hub H530) — firmness, fidelity, faithfulness. In Greek, "faithful" is often πιστός pistos (Strong's G4103; Bible Hub G4103) — faithful, trustworthy, reliable. Lamentations 3:23 praises great faithfulness; 2 Timothy 2:13 says if we are faithless, he remains faithful. God's faithfulness is his character — not a mood we manufacture.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Lamentations 3 presses that God's compassions fail not and his faithfulness is great (Bible Hub MHC Lamentations 3; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Lamentations 3). On Deuteronomy 7 he marks the Lord as the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy (Bible Hub MHC Deuteronomy 7; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Deuteronomy 7). (The broader faithfulness list lives on that page; this list centers God's own emunah / pistos.)
