Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Genesis 1:2, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
Spirit, wind; by resemblance breath.
Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:….”
Genesis 3:22, “And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us,…”
Here Lord is yehôvâh, self-Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the Lord. However, in this passage as in verses 1:1 and 1:26 God is in the plural, in Hebrew three or more.
Genesis 11:7, “let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.” Notable is the use of the word us.
Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:”
Here Lord is yehôvâh, self-Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the Lord and God is in the plural.
Psalm 2:2-3, “2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
Again Lord is yehôvâh, self-Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the Lord. Anointed is Messiah. Notable is the use of the word us.
Psalm 2:7-9 refer to the second in the Trinity, the son. Jesus has been given the heathens to the outermost part of the world.
Psalm 2:12, “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
A bit of a reach to the Holy Spirit, angry and wrath deal with rapid breathing and kindled, consume by fire.
Above Scriptures from KJV
The above is my best effort made in a reasonable amount of time, several hours. So at this point I decided to download CM’s commentary, “The Trinity.” My effort is certainly lacking compared to CM’s.
CM listed many more verses and in CM’s unique approach suggested the following Conceptual Models:
“Power, intellect, will?
Body, soul, and spirit?
Motion, light, heat? (The sun, for example.)
Three tones blending into one chord?
Single ray of light, of three primary colors?
Water: solid (ice), liquid, gas (steam)?”
[Chuck Missler’s The Trinity]
