'Lord' in the Bible

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night.

For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,But the way of the wicked shall perish.

The kings of the earth take their stand;And the rulers take counsel togetherAgainst the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion];The [Sovereign] Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].

“I will declare the decree of the Lord:He said to Me, ‘You are My Son;This day [I proclaim] I have begotten You.

Worship the Lord and serve Him with reverence [with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder];Rejoice [yet do so] with trembling.

O Lord, how my enemies have increased!Many are rising up against me.

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.

With my voice I was crying to the Lord,And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.

I lay down and slept [safely];I awakened, for the Lord sustains me.

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to the Lord;May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah.

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and dealt wonderfully with] the godly man [the one of honorable character and moral courage—the one who does right].The Lord hears and responds when I call to Him.

Offer righteous sacrifices;Trust [confidently] in the Lord.

Many are saying, “Oh, that we might see some good!”Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Lord.

In peace [and with a tranquil heart] I will both lie down and sleep,For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

Listen to my words, O Lord,Consider my groaning and sighing.

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].

You destroy those who tell lies;The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies;Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.

For You, O Lord, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You];You surround him with favor as with a shield.

O Lord, do not rebuke or punish me in Your anger,Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am weak (faint, frail);Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed and anguished.

My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

Return, O Lord, rescue my soul;Save me because of Your [unfailing] steadfast love and mercy.

Depart from me, all you who do evil,For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord has heard my supplication [my plea for grace];The Lord receives my prayer.

O Lord my God, in You I take refuge;Save me and rescue me from all those who pursue me,

O Lord my God, if I have done this,If there is injustice in my hands,

Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;Lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies;Rise up for me; You have commanded judgment and vindication.

The Lord judges the peoples;Judge me, O Lord, and grant me justice according to my righteousness and according to the integrity within me.

I will give thanks to the Lord according to His righteousness and justice,And I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

O Lord, our Lord,How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens.

O Lord, our Lord,How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!

I will give thanks and praise the Lord, with all my heart;I will tell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.

But the Lord will remain and sit enthroned forever;He has prepared and established His throne for judgment.

The Lord also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed,A refuge in times of trouble;

And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You,For You, O Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;Declare among the peoples His [great and wondrous] deeds.

Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O Lord;See how I am afflicted by those who hate me,You who lift me up from the gates of death,

The Lord has made Himself known;He executes judgment;The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands. Higgaion (meditation) Selah.

Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail;Let the nations be judged before You.

Put them in [reverent] fear of You, O Lord,So that the nations may know they are but [frail and mortal] men. Selah.

Why do You stand far away, O Lord?Why do You hide [Yourself, veiling Your eyes] in times of trouble?

For the wicked boasts and sings the praises of his heart’s desire,And the greedy man curses and spurns [and even despises] the Lord.

His ways prosper at all times;Your judgments [Lord] are on high, out of his sight [so he never thinks about them];As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand [in judgment];Do not forget the suffering.

The Lord is King forever and ever;The nations will perish from His land.

O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble and oppressed;You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to hear,

In the Lord I take refuge [and put my trust];How can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to your mountain;

The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven.His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of men.

The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence.

For the Lord is [absolutely] righteous, He loves righteousness (virtue, morality, justice);The upright shall see His face.

Save and help and rescue, Lord, for godly people cease to be,For the faithful vanish from among the sons of men.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,The tongue that speaks great things [in boasting];

Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;Our lips are our own; who is lord and master over us?”

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”

The words and promises of the Lord are pure words,Like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.

You, O Lord, will preserve and keep them;You will protect him from this [evil] generation forever.

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?How long will You hide Your face from me?

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;Give light (life) to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

I will sing to the Lord,Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of menTo see if there are any who understand (act wisely),Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance].

Have all the workers of wickedness and injustice no knowledge,Who eat up my people as they eat bread,And do not call upon the Lord?

You [evildoers] shamefully plan against the poor,But the Lord is his safe refuge.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!When the Lord restores His captive people,Then Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

O Lord, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent?Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill?

In his eyes an evil person is despised,But he honors those who fear the Lord [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;I have no good besides You.”

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, my cup [He is all I need];You support my lot.

I will bless the Lord who has counseled me;Indeed, my heart (mind) instructs me in the night.

I have set the Lord continually before me;Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Hear the just (righteous) cause, O Lord; listen to my loud [piercing] cry;Listen to my prayer, that comes from guileless lips.

Arise, O Lord, confront him, cast him down;Save my soul from the wicked with Your sword,

From men with Your hand, O Lord,From men of the world [these moths of the night] whose portion [of enjoyment] is in this life—idle and vain,And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;They are satisfied with children,And they leave what they have left [of wealth] to their children.

“I love You [fervently and devotedly], O Lord, my strength.”

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me;My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge;My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower—my stronghold.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;And I am saved from my enemies.

In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the LordAnd cried to my God for help;He heard my voice from His temple,And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,And the Most High uttered His voice,Hailstones and coals of fire.

Then the stream beds of the waters appeared,And the foundations of the world were laid bareAt Your rebuke, O Lord,At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

They confronted me in the day of my disaster,But the Lord was my support.

The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity);According to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord,And have not wickedly departed from my God.

Therefore the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity),According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine;The Lord my God illumines my darkness.

As for God, His way is blameless.The word of the Lord is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless];He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is God, but the Lord?Or who is a rock, except our God,

They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—Even to the Lord [they cried], but He did not answer them.

The Lord lives, blessed be my rock;And may the God of my salvation be exalted,

Therefore will I give thanks and praise You, O Lord, among the nations,And sing praises to Your name.

The law of the Lord is perfect (flawless), restoring and refreshing the soul;The statutes of the Lord are reliable and trustworthy, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart;The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;The judgments of the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heartBe acceptable and pleasing in Your sight,O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.

May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble!May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]!

We will sing joyously over your victory,And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;He will answer him from His holy heavenWith the saving strength of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,But we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God.

O Lord, save [the king];May the King answer us in the day we call.
