Psalm 110–112

Psalm 110

A Psalm of David.

¹Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

²Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion:

Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

³Thy people offer themselves willingly In the day of thy power, in holy array:

Out of the womb of the morning

Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

⁴Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent:

Thou art a priest for ever

After the order of Melchizedek.

⁵The Lord at thy right hand

Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶He will judge among the nations,

He will fill the places with dead bodies;

He will strike through the head in many countries.

⁷He will drink of the brook in the way:

Therefore will he lift up the head.

Psalm 111

¹Praise ye Jehovah.

I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart,

In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

²The works of Jehovah are great,

Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

³His work is honor and majesty;

And his righteousness endureth for ever.

⁴He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:

Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

⁵He hath given food unto them that fear him:

He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

⁶He hath showed his people the power of his works,

In giving them the heritage of the nations.

⁷The works of his hands are truth and justice;

All his precepts are sure.

⁸They are established for ever and ever;

They are done in truth and uprightness.

⁹He hath sent redemption unto his people;

He hath commanded his covenant for ever:

Holy and reverend is his name.

¹⁰The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;

A good understanding have all they that do his commandments:

His praise endureth for ever.

Psalm 112

¹Praise ye Jehovah.

Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah,

That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

²His seed shall be mighty upon earth:

The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

³Wealth and riches are in his house;

And his righteousness endureth for ever.

⁴Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:

He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

⁵Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth;

He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

⁶For he shall never be moved;

The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:

His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

⁸His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,

Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.

⁹He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy;

His righteousness endureth for ever:

His horn shall be exalted with honor.

¹⁰The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;

He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:

The desire of the wicked shall perish.
