Psalms 110; Psalms 111; Psalms 112

1 What the LORD says to my master: "Sit right beside me until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet!"

2 May the LORD make your mighty scepter reach far from Zion! Rule over your enemies!

3 Your people stand ready on your day of battle. "In holy grandeur, from the dawn's womb, fight! Your youthful strength is like the dew itself."

4 The LORD has sworn a solemn pledge and won't change his mind: "You are a priest forever in line with Melchizedek."

5 My master, by your strong hand, God has crushed kings on his day of wrath.

6 God brings the nations to justice, piling the dead bodies, crushing heads throughout the earth.

7 God drinks from a stream along the way, then holds his head up high.

1 Praise the LORD! I thank the LORD with all my heart in the company of those who do right, in the congregation.

2 The works of the LORD are magnificent; they are treasured by all who desire them.

3 God's deeds are majestic and glorious. God's righteousness stands forever.

4 God is famous for his wondrous works. The LORD is full of mercy and compassion.

5 God gives food to those who honor him. God remembers his covenant forever.

6 God proclaimed his powerful deeds to his people and gave them what had belonged to other nations.

7 God's handiwork is honesty and justice; all God's rules are trustworthy—

8 they are established always and forever: they are fulfilled with truth and right doing.

9 God sent redemption for his people; God commanded that his covenant last forever. Holy and awesome is God's name!

10 Fear of the LORD is where wisdom begins; sure knowledge is for all who keep God's laws. God's praise lasts forever!

1 Praise the LORD! Those who honor the LORD, who adore God's commandments, are truly happy!

2 Their descendants will be strong throughout the land. The offspring of those who do right will be blessed;

3 wealth and riches will be in their houses. Their righteousness stands forever.

4 They shine in the dark for others who do right. They are merciful, compassionate, and righteous.

5 Those who lend generously are good people— as are those who conduct their affairs with justice.

6 Yes, these sorts of people will never be shaken; the righteous will be remembered forever!

7 They won't be frightened at bad news. Their hearts are steady, trusting in the LORD.

8 Their hearts are firm; they aren't afraid. In the end, they will witness their enemies' defeat.

9 They give freely to those in need. Their righteousness stands forever. Their strength increases gloriously.

10 The wicked see all this and fume; they grind their teeth, but disappear to nothing. What the wicked want to see happen comes to nothing!
