Psalm 110

Assurance of Victory for God’s Priest-King

Of David. A Psalm.
¹ The Lord says to my lord,
   ‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.’

² The Lord sends out from Zion
   your mighty sceptre.
   Rule in the midst of your foes.
³ Your people will offer themselves willingly
   on the day you lead your forces
   on the holy mountains.^*
From the womb of the morning,
   like dew, your youth^* will come to you.
⁴ The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,
   ‘You are a priest for ever according to the order of Melchizedek.’^*

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand;
   he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
⁶ He will execute judgement among the nations,
   filling them with corpses;
he will shatter heads
   over the wide earth.
⁷ He will drink from the stream by the path;
   therefore he will lift up his head.

Psalm 116

Thanksgiving for Recovery from Illness

¹ I love the Lord, because he has heard
   my voice and my supplications.
² Because he inclined his ear to me,
   therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
³ The snares of death encompassed me;
   the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
   I suffered distress and anguish.
⁴ Then I called on the name of the Lord:
   ‘O Lord, I pray, save my life!’

⁵ Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
   our God is merciful.
⁶ The Lord protects the simple;
   when I was brought low, he saved me.
⁷ Return, O my soul, to your rest,
   for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

⁸ For you have delivered my soul from death,
   my eyes from tears,
   my feet from stumbling.
⁹ I walk before the Lord
   in the land of the living.
¹⁰ I kept my faith, even when I said,
   ‘I am greatly afflicted’;
¹¹ I said in my consternation,
   ‘Everyone is a liar.’

¹² What shall I return to the Lord
   for all his bounty to me?
¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation
   and call on the name of the Lord,
¹⁴ I will pay my vows to the Lord
   in the presence of all his people.
¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the Lord
   is the death of his faithful ones.
¹⁶ O Lord, I am your servant;
   I am your servant, the child of your serving-maid.
   You have loosed my bonds.
¹⁷ I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice
   and call on the name of the Lord.
¹⁸ I will pay my vows to the Lord
   in the presence of all his people,
¹⁹ in the courts of the house of the Lord,
   in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!
