Psalm 110-111New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 110

Of David. A psalm.



1
The Lord says to my lord:


“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”



2
The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of your enemies!”

3
Your troops will be willing
on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,
your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb.



4
The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”



5
The Lord is at your right hand ;
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

6
He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

7
He will drink from a brook along the way,
and so he will lift his head high.

Psalm 111

I will extol the Lord with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.



2
Great are the works of the Lord;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.

4
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and compassionate.

5
He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.



6
He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.

7
The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.

8
They are established for ever and ever,
enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.

9
He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
