Psalm 110

1  The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, ♦︎
   until I make your enemies your footstool.’
2  May the Lord stretch forth the sceptre of your power; ♦︎
   rule from Zion in the midst of your enemies.
3  ‘Noble are you on this day of your birth; ♦︎
   on the holy mountain, from the womb of the dawn
      the dew of your new birth is upon you.’
4  The Lord has sworn and will not retract: ♦︎
   ‘You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’
5  The king at your right hand, O Lord, ♦︎
   shall smite down kings in the day of his wrath.
6  In all his majesty, he shall judge among the nations, ♦︎
   smiting heads over all the wide earth.
7  He shall drink from the brook beside the way; ♦︎
   therefore shall he lift high his head.

22A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
   and favour is better than silver or gold.
² The rich and the poor have this in common:
   the Lord is the maker of them all.
³ The clever see danger and hide;
   but the simple go on, and suffer for it.
⁴ The reward for humility and fear of the Lord
   is riches and honour and life.
⁵ Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
   the cautious will keep far from them.
⁶ Train children in the right way,
   and when old, they will not stray.
⁷ The rich rules over the poor,
   and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
⁸ Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,
   and the rod of anger will fail.
⁹ Those who are generous are blessed,
   for they share their bread with the poor.

Love for Enemies

27 ‘But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, ²⁸bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. ²⁹If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. ³⁰Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. ³¹Do to others as you would have them do to you.
