Are Christians the only "people whose God is the Lord"?

Who can expect God's favor today?   

Psalms 144:15
“Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.”

No. 
And yes. 

No, because Christianity wasn't a blip on the radar when the psalmist wrote that particular psalm.

Biblical Judaism has G-d as their lord. And so, when the Supreme Ruler of the universe, our Creator G-d is someone who has absolute sovereignty in our lives, then the LORD is our G-d, and we are a people whose G-d is the LORD. 

Lord is a title that means "Master." 

G-d asks this at specific points. "If I am your Father, where is my honor? If I am your Master (Lord) where is your allegiance and servitude?" (Mal 1:6)

Both Judaism and Christianity serve G-d in their own ways. As far as this Psalm goes, it was about Judaism then, long before the term "Christian" was coined.

Today, when Christians follow Yeshua and serve G-d with all their heart, mind, soul and body then they are making G-d their Lord.

This is known in Judaism as the Shema and Ve'ahavta, wholehearted devotion to G-d. 

It seems the real question you're asking is, do all paths lead to G-d? 
While all creation speaks to the existence of G-d, and He is calling everyone to repentance and a changed life, not everyone listens!

There's are eBible topics on whether or not other religions can lead to G-d here:
