Psalms 110; Psalms 111; Psalms 112; 1 Corinthians 5

1 The Lord declared 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: "Forever, You are a priest like 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.

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 wonderful 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 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.

1 Hallelujah! Happy is the man who fears the Lord, taking great delight in His commandments.

2 His descendants will be powerful in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Light shines in the darkness for the upright. He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 Good will come to a man who lends generously and conducts his business fairly.

6 He will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

7 He will not fear bad news; his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.

8 His heart is assured; he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

9 He distributes freely to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted in honor.

10 The wicked man will see [it] and be angry; he will gnash his teeth in despair. The desire of the wicked will come to nothing.

1 It is widely reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even condoned among the Gentiles-a man is living with his father's wife.

2 And you are inflated with pride, instead of filled with grief so that he who has committed this act might be removed from among you.

3 For though absent in body but present in spirit, I have already decided about him who has done this thing as though I were present.

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, along with my spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5 turn that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast permeates the whole batch of dough?

7 Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.

8 Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old yeast, or with the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-

10 by no means referring to this world's immoral people, or to the greedy and swindlers, or to idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.

11 But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a reviler, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

12 For what is it to me to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside?

13 But God judges outsiders. Put away the evil person from among yourselves.
