Psalm 110-111
New King James Version
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.”
2 The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength (D)out of Zion.
(E)Rule in the midst of Your enemies!
3 (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.
4 The Lord has sworn
And (H)will not relent,
“You are a (I)priest forever
According to the order of (J)Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is (K)at Your right hand;
He shall [a]execute kings (L)in the day of His wrath.
6 He shall judge among the nations,
He shall fill the places with dead bodies,
(M)He shall [b]execute the heads of many countries.
7 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.
2 (P)The works of the Lord are great,
(Q)Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3 His work is (R)honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
(S)The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
6 He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the [d]heritage of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are (T)verity[e] and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
8 (U)They stand fast forever and ever,
And are (V)done in truth and uprightness.
9 (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.
