Psalm 109–110

Psalm 109

¹A psalm for David.

The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

²The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

³With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.

⁴The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

⁵The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of many.

⁷He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

Psalm 110

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just, and in the congregation.

²Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

³His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

⁴He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

⁵He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

⁶He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

⁷That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

⁸All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

⁹He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
