Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign(A)

A Psalm of David.

110 The (B)Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your (C)footstool.”
The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength (D)out of Zion.
(E)Rule in the midst of Your enemies!

(F)Your people shall be volunteers
In the day of Your power;
(G)In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,
You have the dew of Your youth.
The Lord has sworn
And (H)will not relent,
“You are a (I)priest forever
According to the order of (J)Melchizedek.”

The Lord is (K)at Your right hand;
He shall [a]execute kings (L)in the day of His wrath.
He shall judge among the nations,
He shall fill the places with dead bodies,
(M)He shall [b]execute the heads of many countries.
He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;
(N)Therefore He shall lift up the head.

Praise to God for His Faithfulness and Justice

111 Praise[c] the Lord!

(O)I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

(P)The works of the Lord are great,
(Q)Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
His work is (R)honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
(S)The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the [d]heritage of the nations.

The works of His hands are (T)verity[e] and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
(U)They stand fast forever and ever,
And are (V)done in truth and uprightness.
(W)He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
(X)Holy and awesome is His name.

10 (Y)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
