El, God, god
"El", an ancient Hebrew word for "God". Alone or with another title it is a name of the God of Israel: El Elyon (God Most High), El Shaddai (God Almighty). Neighboring peoples used the same word for their gods; then this translation writes "god" in lower case. It also means "mighty".

The context
21Declare, and bring it forward; indeed, let them take counsel together. Who has made this heard from of old, who declared it long ago? Was it not I, YHWH? And there is no other Elohim besides me, a righteous El and Savior; there is none besides me.
