Psalms 110; Psalms 111; Psalms 112

1 The Lord said to my lord, "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet."

2 From Zion the Lord will extend your royal power. "Rule over your enemies," he says.

3 On the day you fight your enemies, your people will volunteer. Like the dew of early morning your young men will come to you on the sacred hills.

4 The Lord made a solemn promise and will not take it back: "You will be a priest forever in the priestly order of Melchizedek."

5 The Lord is at your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat kings.

6 He will pass judgment on the nations and fill the battlefield with corpses; he will defeat kings all over the earth.

7 The king will drink from the stream by the road, and strengthened, he will stand victorious.

1 Praise the Lord! With all my heart I will thank the Lord in the assembly of his people.

2 How wonderful are the things the Lord does! All who are delighted with them want to understand them.

3 All he does is full of honor and majesty; his righteousness is eternal.

4 The Lord does not let us forget his wonderful actions; he is kind and merciful.

5 He provides food for those who honor him; he never forgets his covenant.

6 He has shown his power to his people by giving them the lands of foreigners.

7 In all he does he is faithful and just; all his commands are dependable.

8 They last for all time; they were given in truth and righteousness.

9 He set his people free and made an eternal covenant with them. Holy and mighty is he!

10 The way to become wise is to honor the Lord; he gives sound judgment to all who obey his commands. He is to be praised forever.

1 Praise the Lord! Happy is the person who honors the Lord, who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.

2 The good man's children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed.

3 His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever.

4 Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind, and just.

5 Happy is the person who is generous with his loans, who runs his business honestly.

6 A good person will never fail; he will always be remembered.

7 He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord.

8 He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated.

9 He gives generously to the needy, and his kindness never fails; he will be powerful and respected.

10 The wicked see this and are angry; they glare in hate and disappear; their hopes are gone forever.
