'Lord' in the Bible

Her adversaries have become her masters,Her enemies prosper;For the Lord has caused her griefBecause of the multitude of her transgressions;Her little ones have gone awayAs captives before the adversary.

Her uncleanness was in her skirts;She did not consider her future.Therefore she has fallen astonishingly;She has no comforter.“See, O Lord, my affliction,For the enemy has magnified himself!”

All her people groan seeking bread;They have given their precious things for foodTo restore their lives themselves.“See, O Lord, and look,For I am despised.”

“Is it nothing to all you who pass this way?Look and see if there is any pain like my painWhich was severely dealt out to me,Which the Lord inflicted on the day of His fierce anger.

“The yoke of my transgressions is bound;By His hand they are knit together.They have come upon my neck;He has made my strength fail.The Lord has given me into the handsOf those against whom I am not able to stand.

“The Lord has rejected all my strong menIn my midst;He has called an appointed time against meTo crush my young men;The Lord has trodden as in a wine pressThe virgin daughter of Judah.

Zion stretches out her hands;There is no one to comfort her;The Lord has commanded concerning JacobThat the ones round about him should be his adversaries;Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.

“The Lord is righteous;For I have rebelled against His command;Hear now, all peoples,And behold my pain;My virgins and my young menHave gone into captivity.

“See, O Lord, for I am in distress;My spirit is greatly troubled;My heart is overturned within me,For I have been very rebellious.In the street the sword slays;In the house it is like death.

How the Lord has covered the daughter of ZionWith a cloud in His anger!He has cast from heaven to earthThe glory of Israel,And has not remembered His footstoolIn the day of His anger.

The Lord has swallowed up; He has not sparedAll the habitations of Jacob.In His wrath He has thrown downThe strongholds of the daughter of Judah;He has brought them down to the ground;He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.

The Lord has become like an enemy.He has swallowed up Israel;He has swallowed up all its palaces,He has destroyed its strongholdsAnd multiplied in the daughter of JudahMourning and moaning.

And He has violently treated His tabernacle like a garden booth;He has destroyed His appointed meeting place.The Lord has caused to be forgottenThe appointed feast and sabbath in Zion,And He has despised king and priestIn the indignation of His anger.

The Lord has rejected His altar,He has abandoned His sanctuary;He has delivered into the hand of the enemyThe walls of her palaces.They have made a noise in the house of the LordAs in the day of an appointed feast.

The Lord determined to destroyThe wall of the daughter of Zion.He has stretched out a line,He has not restrained His hand from destroying,And He has caused rampart and wall to lament;They have languished together.

Her gates have sunk into the ground,He has destroyed and broken her bars.Her king and her princes are among the nations;The law is no more.Also, her prophets findNo vision from the Lord.

The Lord has done what He purposed;He has accomplished His wordWhich He commanded from days of old.He has thrown down without sparing,And He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you;He has exalted the might of your adversaries.

Their heart cried out to the Lord,“O wall of the daughter of Zion,Let your tears run down like a river day and night;Give yourself no relief,Let your eyes have no rest.

“Arise, cry aloud in the nightAt the beginning of the night watches;Pour out your heart like waterBefore the presence of the Lord;Lift up your hands to HimFor the life of your little onesWho are faint because of hungerAt the head of every street.”

See, O Lord, and look!With whom have You dealt thus?Should women eat their offspring,The little ones who were born healthy?Should priest and prophet be slainIn the sanctuary of the Lord?

So I say, “My strength has perished,And so has my hope from the Lord.”

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“Therefore I have hope in Him.”

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,To the person who seeks Him.

It is good that he waits silentlyFor the salvation of the Lord.

For the Lord will not reject forever,

To defraud a man in his lawsuit—Of these things the Lord does not approve.

Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass,Unless the Lord has commanded it?

Let us examine and probe our ways,And let us return to the Lord.

Until the Lord looks downAnd sees from heaven.

I called on Your name, O Lord,Out of the lowest pit.

O Lord, You have pleaded my soul’s cause;You have redeemed my life.

O Lord, You have seen my oppression;Judge my case.

You have heard their reproach, O Lord,All their schemes against me.

You will recompense them, O Lord,According to the work of their hands.

You will pursue them in anger and destroy themFrom under the heavens of the Lord!

The Lord has accomplished His wrath,He has poured out His fierce anger;And He has kindled a fire in ZionWhich has consumed its foundations.

The presence of the Lord has scattered them,He will not continue to regard them;They did not honor the priests,They did not favor the elders.

Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;Look, and see our reproach!

You, O Lord, rule forever;Your throne is from generation to generation.

Restore us to You, O Lord, that we may be restored;Renew our days as of old,
