'Lord's' in the Bible

He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight just as his father Manasseh had done. Amon sacrificed to all the carved images that his father Manasseh had made, and he served them.

He did what was right in the Lord’s sight and walked in the ways of his ancestor David; he did not turn aside to the right or the left.

In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, when he had purged the land and the [Lord’s] house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder (secretary), to repair the house of the Lord his God.

They put it into the hands of those doing the work—those who oversaw the Lord’s temple. They gave it to the workmen who were working in the Lord’s temple, to repair and restore the temple;

When they brought out the money that had been deposited in the Lord’s temple, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the Lord written by the hand of Moses.

Consequently, Hilkiah told Shaphan the court secretary, “I have found the book of the law in the Lord’s temple,” and he gave the book to Shaphan.

They have emptied out the money that was found in the Lord’s temple and have put it into the hand of the overseers and the hand of those doing the work.”

“Go. Ask Yahweh for me and for those remaining in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that was found. For great is the Lord’s wrath that is poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord in order to do everything written in this book.”

The king went up to the Lord’s temple with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the Levites—all the people from great to small. He read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that had been found in the Lord’s temple.

Then the king stood at his post and made a covenant in the Lord’s presence to follow the Lord and to keep His commands, His decrees, and His statutes with all his heart and with all his soul in order to carry out the words of the covenant written in this book.

Josiah observed the Lord’s Passover and slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.

He appointed the priests to their responsibilities and encouraged them to serve in the Lord’s temple.

That's how the LORD's service was prepared that day to celebrate the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the LORD's altar according to what King Josiah had commanded.

Also Nebuchadnezzar took some of the utensils of the Lord’s temple to Babylon and put them in his temple in Babylon.

Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became king and reigned three months and 10 days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight.

In the spring Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and brought him to Babylon along with the valuable utensils of the Lord’s temple. Then he made Jehoiachin’s brother Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet at the Lord’s command.

All the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, imitating all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the Lord’s temple that He had consecrated in Jerusalem.

But they kept ridiculing God’s messengers, despising His words, and scoffing at His prophets, until the Lord’s wrath was so stirred up against His people that there was no remedy.

He took everything to Babylon—all the articles of God’s temple, large and small, the treasures of the Lord’s temple, and the treasures of the king and his officials.

They burned down the Lord's temple and tore down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned all its fortified buildings and destroyed all its valuable items.

This took place to fulfill the Lord's message delivered through Jeremiah. The land experienced its sabbatical years; it remained desolate for seventy years, as prophesied.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CYRUS, KING OF PERSIA All of the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the LORD God of Heaven, and he specifically charged me to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Therefore, who among the LORD's people trusts in his God? Whoever among this group wishes to do so may travel to Jerusalem.

In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, in order to fulfill the Lord's message spoken through Jeremiah, the Lord stirred the mind of King Cyrus of Persia. He disseminated a proclamation throughout his entire kingdom, announcing in a written edict the following:

All of the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the LORD God of Heaven, and he specifically charged me to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Therefore, who among the LORD's people trusts in his God? Whoever among this group wishes to do so may travel to Jerusalem of Judah to rebuild the Temple of the LORD God of Israel, the God of Jerusalem.

So the family leaders of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and Levites—everyone God had motivated—prepared to go up and rebuild the Lord’s house in Jerusalem.

King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the Lord’s house that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the house of his gods.

After they arrived at the Lord’s house in Jerusalem, some of the family leaders gave freewill offerings for the house of God in order to have it rebuilt on its original site.

After that, they offered the regular burnt offering and the offerings for the beginning of each month and for all the Lord’s appointed holy occasions, as well as the freewill offerings brought to the Lord.

On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, even though the foundation of the Lord’s temple had not yet been laid.

In the second month of the second year after they arrived at God’s house in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers, including the priests, the Levites, and all who had returned to Jerusalem from the captivity, began to build. They appointed the Levites who were 20 years old or more to supervise the work on the Lord’s house.

When the builders had laid the foundation of the Lord’s temple, the priests, dressed in their robes and holding trumpets, and the Levites descended from Asaph, holding cymbals, took their positions to praise the Lord, as King David of Israel had instructed.

They sang with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord: “For He is good; His faithful love to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid.

This is the text of the letter King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest and scribe, an expert in matters of the Lord’s commands and statutes for Israel:

Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the Lord’s house before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families in Jerusalem.”

We will bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the Lord’s house year by year.

“Very well,” the Lord told Satan, “everything he owns is in your power. However, you must not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.

With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

So Satan left the Lord’s presence and infected Job with terrible boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.

Who among all of these doesn't know that the LORD's hand made them,

And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,and he meditates on it day and night.

I will declare the Lord’s decree:He said to Me, “You are My Son;today I have become Your Father.

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

The Lord's words are absolutely reliable. They are as untainted as silver purified in a furnace on the ground, where it is thoroughly refined.

He despises a reprobate, but honors the Lord's loyal followers. He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.

For the music director; by the Lord's servant David, who sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord rescued him from the power of all his enemies, including Saul. He said: "I love you, Lord, my source of strength!

For I have obeyed the Lord's commands; I have not rebelled against my God.

The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord's promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

The Lord's precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord's commands are pure and give insight for life.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and because of the sovereign Lord's faithfulness he is not upended.

You are the reason I offer praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my promises before the Lord's loyal followers.

For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.

Truly, goodness and gracious love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will remain in the LORD's Temple forever. A Davidic Psalm.

{A Psalm of David.} The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truthto those who keep His covenant and decrees.

The Lord's loyal followers receive his guidance, and he reveals his covenantal demands to them.

I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I really seek: that I may remain in the LORD's Temple all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD; and to inquire in his Temple.

I am certain that I will see the Lord’s goodnessin the land of the living.

For they do not understand the Lord's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The Lord will permanently demolish them.

A psalm of David. Acknowledge the Lord, you heavenly beings, acknowledge the Lord's majesty and power!

Acknowledge the majesty of the Lord's reputation! Worship the Lord in holy attire!

The Lord's shout is heard over the water; the majestic God thunders, the Lord appears over the surging water.

The Lord's shout is powerful, the Lord's shout is majestic.

The Lord's shout breaks the cedars, the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

The Lord's shout strikes with flaming fire.

The Lord's shout shakes the wilderness, the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The Lord's shout bends the large trees and strips the leaves from the forests. Everyone in his temple says, "Majestic!"

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord's faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

For the Lord's decrees are just, and everything he does is fair.

He loves righteousness and justice;the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.

By the Lord's decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.

But the LORD's counsel stands firm forever, the plans in his mind for all generations.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,

Proclaim Yahweh’s greatness with me;let us exalt His name together.

I sought the Lord's help and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

The Lord's angel camps around the Lord's loyal followers and delivers them.

May they be like wind-driven chaff, as the Lord's angel attacks them!

May their path be dark and slippery, as the Lord's angel chases them!

For the music director; written by the Lord's servant, David; an oracle. An evil man is rebellious to the core. He does not fear God,

Be silent in the LORD's presence and wait patiently for him. Don't be angry because of the one whose way prospers or the one who implements evil schemes.

But the wicked will perish;the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures,will fade away—they will fade away like smoke.

For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,full of wine blended with spices, and He pours from it.All the wicked of the earth will drink,draining it to the dregs.

I will remember the Lord’s works;yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.

we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the Lord's praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.

So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

I desperately want to be in the courts of the Lord's temple. My heart and my entire being shout for joy to the living God.

Written by the Korahites; a psalm, a song. The Lord's city is in the holy hills.

A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.I will sing about the Lord’s faithful love forever;I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generationswith my mouth.

Planted in the LORD's Temple, they will flourish in the courtyard of our God.

in the LORD's presence, because he is coming; indeed, he will come to judge the earth. He will judge the world fairly and its people reliably.

Mountains melt like wax in the LORD's presence In the presence of the LORD of all the earth.

in the LORD's presence, who comes to judge the earth; He'll judge the world righteously; and its people fairly.

Every morning I will destroyall the wicked of the land,eliminating all evildoers from the Lord’s city.

But from eternity to eternitythe Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear Him,and His righteousness toward the grandchildren

until the time when his prediction came true. The Lord's word proved him right.

Who can declare the Lord’s mighty actsor proclaim all the praise due Him?

In the camp they were envious of Mosesand of Aaron, the Lord’s holy one.

They grumbled in their tentsand did not listen to the Lord’s voice.

Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against His people,and He abhorred His own inheritance.
