Prayers, Songs, Praises: Psalm 111

Praise for the Lord’s Works

111:1 Hallelujah!

I will praise the Lord with all my heart
in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

2 The Lord’s works are great,

studied by all who delight in them.

3 All that he does is splendid and majestic;

his righteousness endures forever.

4 He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate.

5 He has provided food for those who fear him;

he remembers his covenant forever.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works

by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice;

all his instructions are trustworthy.

8 They are established forever and ever,

enacted in truth and in uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to his people.

He has ordained his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awe-inspiring.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

all who follow his instructions have good insight.

His praise endures forever.

Prayers, Songs, Praises: Psalm 110

The Priestly King

A psalm of David.

110:1 This is the declaration of the Lord
to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion.
Rule over your surrounding enemies.
3 Your people will volunteer
on your day of battle.
In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,
the dew of your youth belongs to you.
4 The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“You are a priest forever
according to the pattern of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will crush kings on the day of his anger.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses;
he will crush leaders over the entire world.
7 He will drink from the brook by the road;
therefore, he will lift up his head.
