Psalm 110–112

Sit at My Right Hand

110A Psalm of David.

^1qThe Lord says to my Lord:

^r“Sit at my right hand,

^suntil I make your enemies your ^tfootstool.”

²The Lord sends forth ^ufrom Zion

^vyour mighty scepter.

^wRule in the midst of your enemies!

^3xYour people will ^yoffer themselves freely

on the day of your ^zpower,¹

in ^aholy garments;²

from the womb of the morning,

the dew of your youth will be yours.³

^4bThe Lord has ^csworn

and will ^dnot change his mind,

^e“You are ^fa priest ^gforever

after the order of ^hMelchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is at your ⁱright hand;

he will ^jshatter kings on ^kthe day of his wrath.

⁶He will ^lexecute judgment among the nations,

^mfilling them with corpses;

he will ⁿshatter chiefs⁴

over the wide earth.

⁷He will ^odrink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.

Great Are the Lord’s Works

111^{1 p}Praise the Lord!

I ^qwill give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,

in the company of ^rthe upright, in the congregation.

²Great are the ^sworks of the Lord,

^tstudied by all who delight in them.

^3uFull of splendor and majesty is his work,

and his ^vrighteousness endures forever.

⁴He has ^wcaused his wondrous works to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and merciful.

⁵He provides food for those who fear him;

he ^xremembers his covenant forever.

⁶He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

⁷The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all his precepts are ^ytrustworthy;

⁸they are ^zestablished forever and ever,

to be performed with ^afaithfulness and uprightness.

⁹He sent ^bredemption to his people;

he has ^ccommanded his covenant forever.

^dHoly and awesome is his name!

^10eThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

all those who practice it have ^fa good understanding.

His ^gpraise endures forever!

The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

who ^jgreatly delights in his commandments!

²His ^koffspring will be mighty in the land;

^lthe generation of the upright will be blessed.

^3mWealth and riches are in his house,

and his ⁿrighteousness endures forever.

⁴Light dawns in the darkness ^ofor the upright;

who conducts his affairs with justice.

⁶For the righteous will ^rnever be moved;

^she will be remembered forever.

⁷He is not ^tafraid of bad news;

⁸His heart is steady;² he will not be afraid,

until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

⁹He has ^wdistributed freely; he has given to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever;

his ^xhorn is exalted in honor.

¹⁰The wicked man sees it and is angry;

he ^ygnashes his teeth and ^zmelts away;

^athe desire of the wicked will perish!
