Psalms 110; Psalms 111; Psalms 112

1 The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by me at my right side until I put your enemies under your control."

2 The Lord will enlarge your kingdom beyond Jerusalem, and you will rule over your enemies.

3 Your people will join you on your day of battle. You have been dressed in holiness from birth; you have the freshness of a child.

4 The Lord has made a promise and will not change his mind. He said, "You are a priest forever, a priest like Melchizedek."

5 The Lord is beside you to help you. When he becomes angry, he will crush kings.

6 He will judge those nations, filling them with dead bodies; he will defeat rulers all over the world.

7 The king will drink from the brook on the way. Then he will be strengthened.

1 Praise the Lord! in the meeting of his good people.

2 The Lord does great things; those who enjoy them seek them.

3 What he does is glorious and splendid, and his goodness continues forever.

4 His miracles are unforgettable. The Lord is kind and merciful.

5 He gives food to those who fear him. He remembers his agreement forever.

6 He has shown his people his power when he gave them the lands of other nations.

7 Everything he does is good and fair; all his orders can be trusted.

8 They will continue forever. They were made true and right.

9 He sets his people free. He made his agreement everlasting. He is holy and wonderful.

10 Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord; those who obey his orders have good understanding. He should be praised forever.

1 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who want what he commands.

2 Their descendants will be powerful in the land; the children of honest people will be blessed.

3 Their houses will be full of wealth and riches, and their goodness will continue forever.

4 A light shines in the dark for honest people, for those who are merciful and kind and good.

5 It is good to be merciful and generous. Those who are fair in their business

6 will never be defeated. Good people will always be remembered.

7 They won't be afraid of bad news; their hearts are steady because they trust the Lord.

8 They are confident and will not be afraid; they will look down on their enemies.

9 They give freely to the poor. The things they do are right and will continue forever. They will be given great honor.

10 The wicked will see this and become angry; they will grind their teeth in anger and then disappear. The wishes of the wicked will come to nothing.
