Psalm 110–112

Psalm 110

A Psalm of David.

¹The ^aLord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,

Till I make Your enemies Your ^bfootstool.”

²The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength ^cout of Zion.

^dRule in the midst of Your enemies!

^3eYour people shall be volunteers

In the day of Your power;

^fIn the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,

You have the dew of Your youth.

⁴The Lord has sworn

And ^gwill not relent,

“You are a ^hpriest forever

According to the order of ⁱMelchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is ^jat Your right hand;

He shall ¹execute kings ^kin the day of His wrath.

⁶He shall judge among the nations,

He shall fill the places with dead bodies,

^lHe shall ²execute the heads of many countries.

⁷He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;

^mTherefore He shall lift up the head.

Psalm 111

¹Praise ¹the Lord!

^aI will praise the Lord with my whole heart,

In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

^2bThe works of the Lord are great,

^cStudied by all who have pleasure in them.

³His work is ^dhonorable and glorious,

And His righteousness endures forever.

⁴He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;

^eThe Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

⁵He has given food to those who fear Him;

He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

⁶He has declared to His people the power of His works,

In giving them the ²heritage of the nations.

⁷The works of His hands are ^fverity ³and justice;

All His precepts are sure.

^8gThey stand fast forever and ever,

And are ^hdone in truth and uprightness.

⁹ⁱHe has sent redemption to His people;

He has commanded His covenant forever:

^jHoly and awesome is His name.

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

A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.

His praise endures forever.

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

Who ^adelights greatly in His commandments.

^2bHis descendants will be mighty on earth;

The generation of the upright will be blessed.

^3cWealth and riches will be in his house,

And his righteousness ²endures forever.

^4dUnto the upright there arises light in the darkness;

He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

^5eA good man deals graciously and lends;

He will guide his affairs ^fwith discretion.

⁶Surely he will never be shaken;

^gThe righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

^7hHe will not be afraid of evil tidings;

His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

⁸His ⁱheart is established;

^jHe will not be afraid,

Until he ^ksees his desire upon his enemies.

⁹He has dispersed abroad,

He has given to the poor;

His righteousness endures forever;

His ³horn will be exalted with honor.

¹⁰The wicked will see it and be grieved;

He will gnash his teeth and melt away;

The desire of the wicked shall perish.
