Psalm 110-114

New American Standard Bible

The Lord Gives Dominion to the King.

A Psalm of David.

110 ^(A)The Lord says to my Lord:
“^(B)Sit at My right hand
Until I make ^(C)Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
²The Lord will stretch out Your strong ^(D)scepter from Zion, saying,
“^(E)Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”
³Your ^(F)people ^[a]will volunteer freely on the day of Your ^[b]power;
^(G)In ^[c]holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,
^[d]Your youth are to You as the ^(H)dew.

⁴^(I)The Lord has sworn and will ^(J)not ^[e]change His mind,
“You are a ^(K)priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
⁵The Lord is ^(L)at Your right hand;
He ^[f]will ^(M)shatter kings in the ^(N)day of His wrath.
⁶He will ^(O)judge among the nations,
He ^[g]will fill them with ^(P)corpses,
He ^[h]will ^(Q)shatter the ^[i]chief men over a broad country.
⁷He will ^(R)drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will ^(S)lift up His head.

The Lord Praised for His Goodness.

111 ^[j]Praise ^[k]the Lord!
I ^(T)will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the ^(U)company of the upright and in the assembly.
²^(V)Great are the works of the Lord;
They are ^[l]^(W)studied by all who delight in them.
³^[m]^(X)Splendid and majestic is His work,
And ^(Y)His righteousness endures forever.
⁴He has caused His ^[n]wonders ^[o]to be remembered;
The Lord is ^(Z)gracious and compassionate.
⁵He has ^(AA)given ^[p]food to those who ^[q]fear Him;
He will ^(AB)remember His covenant forever.
⁶He has made known to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the inheritance of the nations.

⁷The works of His hands are ^[r]^(AC)truth and justice;
All His precepts ^(AD)are trustworthy.
⁸They are ^(AE)upheld forever and ever;
They are performed in ^[s]^(AF)truth and uprightness.
⁹He has sent ^(AG)redemption to His people;
He has ^[t]ordained His covenant forever;
^(AH)Holy and ^[u]awesome is His name.

All those who ^[w]follow ^(AJ)His commandments have a good understanding;
His ^(AK)praise endures forever.

He will ^[ac]maintain his cause in judgment.
⁶For he will ^(AT)never be shaken;
The ^(AU)righteous will be ^[ad]remembered forever.

⁷He will not fear ^(AV)bad news;
His ^(AW)heart is steadfast, ^(AX)trusting in the Lord.
⁸His ^(AY)heart is firm, he ^(AZ)will not fear,
^[ae]But will ^(BA)look with satisfaction on his enemies.
⁹^[af]He ^(BB)has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;

The ^(BG)desire of the wicked will perish.

The Lord Exalts the Humble.

His ^(BN)glory is above the heavens.

⁵^(BO)Who is like the Lord our God,
Who ^(BP)is enthroned on high,
⁶Who ^(BQ)looks far down to
The heavens and the earth?
⁷He ^(BR)raises the poor from the dust,
He lifts the needy from the garbage heap,
⁸To ^(BS)seat them with noblemen,
With the noblemen of His people.
⁹He ^(BT)has the infertile woman live in the house
As a joyful mother of children.
^[ak]Praise ^[al]the Lord!

God’s Rescue of Israel from Egypt.

114 When Israel went forth ^(BU)from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of a ^(BV)foreign language,
²Judah became ^(BW)His sanctuary;
Israel, ^(BX)His dominion.

³The ^(BY)sea looked and fled;
The ^(BZ)Jordan turned back.
⁴The mountains ^(CA)skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.
⁵What ^(CB)ails you, sea, that you flee?
Jordan, that you turn back?
⁶Mountains, that you skip like rams?
Hills, like lambs?

⁷^(CC)Tremble, earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
⁸Who ^(CD)turned the rock into a ^(CE)pool of water,
The ^(CF)flint into a fountain of water.
