NAS - Psalms 110 to 114

Psalm 110

The LORD Gives Dominion to the King.

Psalm of David.

¹The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet." ² The LORD will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, "Rule in the midst of Your enemies." ³ Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Your youth are to You as the dew.

⁴The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek." ⁵The Lord is at Your right hand; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath. ⁶ He will judge among the nations, He will fill them with corpses, He will shatter the chief men over a broad country. ⁷ He will drink from the brook by the wayside; Therefore He will lift up His head.

Psalm 111

The LORD Praised for His Goodness.

¹Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart, In the company of the upright and in the assembly. ²Great are the works of the LORD; They are studied by all who delight in them. ³ Splendid and majestic is His work, And His righteousness endures forever. ⁴ He has made His wonders to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and compassionate. ⁵ He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever. ⁶ He has made known to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

⁷The works of His hands are truth and justice; All His precepts are sure. ⁸They are upheld forever and ever; They are performed in truth and uprightness. ⁹He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name. ¹⁰The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.

Psalm 112

Prosperity of the One Who Fears the LORD.

¹Praise the LORD! How blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who greatly delights in His commandments. ² His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. ³ Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. ⁵ It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. ⁶ For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever.

⁷He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. ⁸His heart is upheld, he will not fear, Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. ⁹ He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor.

¹⁰The wicked will see it and be vexed, He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 113

The LORD Exalts the Humble.

¹Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD. ² Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forever. ³From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised. ⁴ The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

⁵Who is like the LORD our God, Who is enthroned on high, ⁶Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth? ⁷He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap, ⁸ To make them sit with princes, With the princes of His people. ⁹ He makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!

Psalm 114

God's Deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

¹When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, ² Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion.

³The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back. ⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs. ⁵What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? ⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, Before the God of Jacob, ⁸Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.
