The words “lord,” “Lord,” and “LORD” in our English Bibles are translated from some twelve different words. (See Young’s Analytical Concordance.) Those of most interest to the reader are: Adon, Adonai, JEHOVAH, and JAH.
ADON, when it has reference to God is written in ordinary type with capital initial letter as—“Lord.”
Exodus 23:17—“shall appear before the Lord GOD.” Psalms 8:1—“Lord, how excellent is thy name!” 97:5—“the Lord of the whole earth.”
