1 A Davidic psalm
A Priestly Ruler A declaration from the LORD to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 When the LORD extends your mighty scepter from Zion, rule in the midst of your enemies.
3 Your soldiers are willing volunteers on your day of battle; in majestic holiness, from the womb, from the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you.
4 The LORD took an oath and will never recant: “You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will utterly destroy kings in the time of his wrath.
6 He will execute judgment against the nations, filling graves with corpses. He will utterly destroy leaders far and wide.
7 He will drink from a stream on the way, then hold his head high.
111 1Praise for God’s Amazing Deeds Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all of my heart in the assembled congregation of the upright.
2 Great are the acts of the LORD; they are within reach of all who desire them.
3 Splendid and glorious are his awesome deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He is remembered for his awesome deeds; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
5 He prepares food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6 He revealed his mighty deeds to his people by giving them a country of their own.
7 Whatever he does is reliable and just, and all his precepts are trustworthy,
8 sustained through all eternity, and fashioned in both truth and righteousness.
9 He sent deliverance to his people; he ordained his covenant to last forever; his name is holy and awesome.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; sound understanding belongs to those who practice it. Praise of God endures forever.
112 1The Gracious Person Hallelujah! How happy is the person who fears the LORD, who truly delights in his commandments.
2 His descendants will be powerful in the land, a generation of the upright who will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 A light shines in the darkness for the upright, for the one who is gracious, compassionate, and just.
5 It is good for the person who lends generously, conducting his affairs with fairness.
6 He will never be shaken; the one who is just will always be remembered.
7 He need not fear a bad report, for his heart is unshaken, since he trusts in the LORD.
8 His heart is steadfast, he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph over his enemy.
9 He gives generously to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked person sees this and flies into a rage; his teeth gnash and wear away. The desire of the wicked will amount to nothing.
113 1Praise to the Loving God Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD!
2 May the name of the LORD be blessed from now to eternity.
3 From rising to setting sun, may the name of the LORD be praised.
4 The LORD is exalted high above all the nations; his glory beyond the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, enthroned on high,
6 yet stooping low to observe the sky and the earth?
7 He lifts the poor person from the dust, raising the needy from the trash pile
8 and giving him a seat among nobles— with the nobles of his people.
9 He makes the barren woman among her household a happy mother of joyful children. Hallelujah!
114 1Deliverance of Israel from Egypt When Israel came out of Egypt— the household of Jacob from a people of foreign speech—
2 Judah became his sanctuary and Israel his place of dominion.
3 The sea saw this and fled, the Jordan River ran backwards,
4 the mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
5 What happened to you, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you ran backwards?
6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams? and you hills, that you skipped like lambs?
7 Tremble then, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flinty rock into flowing springs.
115 1The Impotence of Idols Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be given glory on account of your gracious love and faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations ask “Where now is their God?”
3 when our God is in the heavens and he does whatever he desires?
4 Their idols are silver and gold, crafted by human hands.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats.
8 Those who craft them will become like them,
A Priestly Ruler
