Hebrew Titles of God

Following are some other titles of God used throughout the Bible.  Hopefully these will help you understand the nature of the One Who created us -- Who and What He is -- and Who longs to be our True Father.  I pray these help you in your prayer, and relationship with Him.

la El ('al; 'L):

meaning "Mighty One" or "First," this is the singular form of God, denoting Him as the only One; the Strong One above all else, mighty and powerful (Gen. 21:33, 31:13, 35:1).  This is also sometimes attached to the Name Yahueh (Psa. 31:5, 94:1), even by God Himself (Exo. 34:6).

hwla Eloah (al-'oo-ah or 'al-o-ah; 'LUH):

meaning "Worthy of Praise," another title to describe God as single, powerful (Job 4:9), the creator (Deut. 32:15, Job 4:17), the only God (Deut. 32:17), Who is merciful and kind, and corrects His children out of love (Neh. 9:17, Job 5:17).

hla Elah (al-'ah; 'LH):

closely related to both El and Eloah, this is Aramaic for "Mighty One" or "One Worthy of Praise;" seen mostly in Ezra (4:24, 6:9) and Daniel (5:18, 6:10).

Myhla Elohim ('al-o-heem; 'LHYM):

meaning "Mighty Ones" or "Ones Worthy of Praise," this is used very often (Isa. 41:10), and is the plural form of Eloah.  It denotes the nature of God as seen as the Father, His Word (Jesus), and His Spirit (the Holy Spirit), acting as one (Gen. 1:26,27, 3:22).  It is also used for false gods (Gen. 35:2, Exo. 12:12), gods compared to Yahueh (Exo. 18:11, 20:3,23, 23:13,24,32,33, Leviticus19:4, 1 Ki. 18:21-24) gods personal to someone (Numbers 25:2, 33:4, Deut. 6:14,15), and even judges (Psa. 82).

Nwda Adon ('ah-dohn; 'DUN):

meaning Lord, Master, or Sovereign (Psa. 97:5, 114:7); singular form.

ynda Adonai ('ah-dohn-eye; 'DNY):

plural form of Adon, used often to denote the complete nature of God, His Word, and His Spirit (Isa. 6:8); the Sovereign One of heaven, ruling in majesty; the Master (Exo. 4:10).  Used in connection with Elohim; Adonai Elohim (Dan. 9:3), to show the Sovereign nature of the King of all the earth, the One God of heaven Who acts in unity.
Also used to mean "my Lord" (Psa. 110:1), "my Lords" to angels (Gen. 19:1,2), for kings (1 Ki. 1:13), out of reverence (Gen. 23:6,11), for husbands (Gen. 18:12).

Nwyla Elyon ('al-yone; 'LYUN):

meaning Most High (Numbers 24:16, Deut. 32:8, II Sam. 22:14).   Often used in connection with the other titles and name of God, such as Elyon El (Gen. 14:18), Yahueh Elyon (Psa. 7:17, 47:2, 83:18), Elohim Elyon (Psa. 57:2), Elyon Elohim (Psa. 78:56). 

Indeed Lucifer's fall was because he sought to be like Elyon, the Most High (Isa. 14:12-15), and ended up Satan, the Devil, the prince of demons.  Exalting oneself will always cause a dethroning by God, as seen with Lucifer, the Tower of Babel, Pharaoh, Herod, etc.  There is one Most High: Yahueh Elyon.

ydS Shaddai (shad-'eye; SHDY):

this word meaning "Almighty" or "All-sustaining" gives us a picture of the wonderful and just God we serve (Job 5:17, Numbers 24:16, Job 8:3); it is often combined with El to denote the One True God Almighty (Gen. 35:11).  "Shaddai" is thought to come from a root word meaning a mother's breasts; here we see the truth of the life-sustaining, and intimate nature of God.

ba Ab or Abba ('ab; 'B):

meaning Father  (Isa. 9:6, II Sam. 7:14, Mal. 1:6, Mark 14:36, Rom. 8:15, Galatians 4:6).
