Right. As Iscool posted: Lord G2962 kurios koo'-ree-os From κῦρος kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, that is, (as noun) controller; by implication Mr. (as a respectful title): - God, Lord, master, Sir.

Nope! You're talking about the Greek. All the verses you posted were from the Old Testament so when you see the word LORD (in all capital letters) printed, it means in the HEBREW the personal name of Almighty God which is "Yahweh" The I AM. It is called a "tetragrammaton". The letters in Hebrew are YHVH or JHVH, also as in "Jehovah". In the Hebrew the word for lord is "adoni". An example of the two different words is found in And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. Numbers 36:2. The translators were respectful of the personal name of God so they used LORD instead of Jehovah or YHVH/JHVH. In the New Testament, the Greek word for lord is kurios, but, again, my comment was about the verses you posted from the Old Testament.

Of course I am. The Greek OT, the Septuagint, which was used during the time of Jesus, used the Greek word kurios as the personal name of Almighty God - Lord. Lord God.
