No "angry G-d" concept
The verse, "E-l zo'em bechol yom", "divine anger everyday" is a verb that expresses and outwards action and is not reflexive. So it is not, "the angered Gd", rather, divine anger expressed ouwards, towards others. The idea is one of upkeep of the creation, a regular cleansing of the evil the world produces. This, always done in a way of "rega be'apo, chayim birtzono", "his anger is for but a moment, in his life giving will." (Or translate, "in his desire to give life.")
