'Lord' in the Bible

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will be destroyed.

As the kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and his anointed one, they say,

He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

Let me announce the decree of the LORD that he told me: "You are my son, today I have become your father.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me!

But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude

I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me.

Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! For you strike the jaw of all my enemies, and you break the teeth of the wicked.

Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude To the Director: With stringed instruments. A Davidic Psalm

But understand this: the LORD has set apart the godly for himself! The LORD will hear me when I cry out to him!

LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me.

LORD, in your anger, do not rebuke me, in your wrath, do not discipline me.

You, LORD, will keep them safe, you will guard them from this generation forever.

How long? LORD, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

But as for me, justified, I will behold your face; when I awake, your presence will satisfy me. To the Director: By the servant of the LORD, David, who spoke the words of this song to the LORD on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hands of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

He said: "I love you, Lord, my strength.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my stronghold in whom I take refuge, my shield, the glory of my salvation, and my high tower."

I cried out to the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I was delivered from my enemies.

In my distress I cried to the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his Temple he heard my voice; my cry reached his ears.

Then the LORD thundered in the heavens, and the Most High sounded aloud, calling for hail stones and flashes of fire.

Then the channels of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered because of your rebuke, LORD, because of the blast from the breath of your nostrils.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.

The LORD will reward me because I am righteous; because my hands are clean he will restore me;

because I have kept the ways of the LORD, and I have not wickedly departed from my God;

So the LORD restored me according to my righteousness, because my hands were clean in his sight.

For you, LORD, make my lamp shine; my God enlightens my darkness.

For who is God but the LORD, and who is a Rock other than our God?

They cried out for deliverance, but there was no one to deliver; they cried out to the LORD, but he did not answer them.

The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! May the God of my deliverance be exalted!

Therefore, I will give thanks to you among the nations, LORD; I will sing praises to your name.

The Law of the LORD is perfect, restoring life. The testimony of the LORD is steadfast, making foolish people wise.

The precepts of the LORD are upright, making the heart rejoice. The commandment of the LORD is pure, giving light to the eyes.

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

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

May the LORD answer you in the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

May we shout for joy at your deliverance and unfurl our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know that the LORD has delivered his anointed; he has answered him from his sanctuary with the strength of his right hand of deliverance.

Some boast in chariots, others in horses; but we will boast in the name of the LORD our God.

Deliver us, LORD! Answer us, our King, on the day we cry out! To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your deliverance.

The king trusts in the LORD; because of the gracious love of the Most High, he will stand firm.
