You can't possibly know that god is speaking to you through the bible and telling the truth. For all you know everything he is saying is a complete lie. Maybe he finds it funny for you to take things like this seriously:
Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the DRAGONS and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
Ezekiel 13:18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? (God really doesn't like pillows.)
Psa 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the UNICORNS.

By definition god is unknowable. You can not say that he is absolutely good.

Guess I'll have to stop sewing pillows to my arm holes. (WTF?)

"For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God." (1 Corinthians 1:26-29)
But anyways, your translation is whack.
Using NASB, the most literal translation after interlinear...
"Save me from the lion's mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me. " (Psalm 22:21)
Look up the others yourself, if you like.
To the person below me using NWT, I suggest reading a real Bible, not one translated to fit a group's needs.

No. By definition God cannot lie. By logic, He cannot lie and must be perfect. Therefore, unfortunately, you are incorrect. Sorry.

I know because God doesn't exist... at least not the one you are talking about.
