Sit at My Right Hand
A Psalm of David.
110 sThe Lord says to my Lord:
t“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 The Lord sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter.
uRule in the midst of your enemies!
3 Your people will offer themselves vfreely
on the day of your power,1
in holy garments;2
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.3
4 wThe Lord has sworn
and xwill not change his mind,
after the order of aMelchizedek.”
5 The Lord is bat your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will execute cjudgment among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
Great Are the Lord’s Works
111 1 Praise the Lord!
eI will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
2 Great are the works of the Lord,
fstudied by all who gdelight in them.
3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and hhis righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wondrous works to be iremembered;
the Lord is jgracious and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he kremembers his covenant forever.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy;
8 they are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He sent lredemption to his people;
he has commanded his covenant forever.
mHoly and awesome is his name!
10 nThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!
The Righteous Will Never Be Moved
112 1 Praise the Lord!
oBlessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly pdelights in his commandments!
2 qHis offspring will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and rhis righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals generously and slends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For tthe righteous will never be moved;
uhe will be remembered forever.
7 vHe is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is steady;2 he will not be afraid,
until he wlooks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 xHe has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he gnashes his teeth and melts away;
ythe desire of the wicked will perish!
Who Is like the Lord Our God?
113 Praise the Lord!
zPraise, O servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord!
2 aBlessed be the name of the Lord
bfrom this time forth and forevermore!
3 cFrom the rising of the sun to its setting,
the name of the Lord is to be praised!
4 The Lord is high dabove all nations,
and ehis glory above the heavens!
5 fWho is like the Lord our God,
who is seated on high,
6 who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
7 gHe raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9 hHe gives the barren woman a home,
imaking her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the Lord!
Tremble at the Presence of the Lord
114 jWhen Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 kJudah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3 lThe sea looked and fled;
mJordan turned back.
4 The mountains nskipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
7 oTremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 pwho turns the rock into a pool of water,
the qflint into a spring of water.
