actually my friend you have a problem, for although God is the ultimate Judge, he has appointed, in the case of the old testament (Hebrew scriptures), humans to judge on his behalf, thus we read, that Moses was appointed a judge, as was his successor Joshua, then we have the period known as judges when Israel was without a human King, then we have th ...[text shortened]... n King of Israel, Saul, who rendered judgement, as did David and Solomon afterwards etc etc etc.

I'm failing to see your point.
Originally posted by CED SYSTEMYes this is true, let me see what i can do. it is a great pity that you must restrict you search to the Hebrew portion, for there are many beautiful verse in the Christian Greek scriptures which state what you are seeking to procure.
When I die I will be be judged by G/D.
(James 4:12) . . .One there is that is lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you to be judging your neighbor?
In the Hebrew scriptures there are the following but none seem to be quite as to the point.
(Isaiah 33:22) . . .For Jehovah is our Judge, Jehovah is our Statute-giver, Jehovah is our King; he himself will save us.
(Psalm 75:7) . . .For God is the judge. This one he abases, and that one he exalts.

Originally posted by CED SYSTEMMy point is, that is making a search fro a scripture which states that God exclusively is judge, one must be aware that he himself has appointed judges to render judicial decisions on his behalf, thus, the field is quite broad. It has nothing to do with whether you would like to worship them or not, or whether you shall be judged by them, which seems to be quite out of the question.

You're right.
Originally posted by CED SYSTEMyou are most welcome, here is a few more, the first one is amazing as the ancient patriarch Abraham is reasoning with God, and God in his patience listens to him.
I like this one. Thanks
(Genesis 18:25) It is unthinkable of you that you are acting in this manner to put to death the righteous man with the wicked one so that it has to occur with the righteous man as it does with the wicked! It is unthinkable of you. Is the Judge of all the earth not going to do what is right?”
Psalm 94:2) Raise yourself up, O Judge of the earth. Bring back a retribution upon the haughty ones.

Hi I am looking for a scripture from the old testament about how only G/D can judge me.
Any help is much appreciated.
God is not the only one that can judge, according to the Old Testament. Angels can do it too.
See, this is how the Bible is used to try to provide foundation to a preconceived idea or belief. That is not the way to glean anything spiritually helpful to you from the Bible.
