A similar question arises in Matthew 1:6 with EK THS TOU OURIOU. It could be 
translated "of her of Uriah" or "of Uriah's woman." All English versions 
paraphrase.

Mark:

The TOUS is function like a relative pronoun. According to Wallace, "Sometimes 
the article is equivalent to a relative pronoun in force. This is especially 
true when it is repeated after a noun before a phrase (e.g., a gen. phrase). 
(Wallace, GGBTB, 213)

The TOUS should be translated "which" and so the whole phrase should read, "and 
as many as are believing the words which are the Lord's (or "of the Lord")are 
seeing God."

I hope this helps,

Kevin
