'In the Sight of the Lord' in the Bible

Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that you may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.

Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but did pounce upon the spoil, and did evil in the sight of the LORD?
