Psalm 110-115

English Standard Version

² The Lord sends forth ^(E)from Zion
    ^(F)your mighty scepter.
    ^(G)Rule in the midst of your enemies!
^3 (H)Your people will ^(I)offer themselves freely
    on the day of your ^(J)power,^[a]
    in ^(K)holy garments;^[b]
from the womb of the morning,
    the dew of your youth will be yours.^[c]
4 (L)The Lord has ^(M)sworn
    and will ^(N)not change his mind,
^(O)“You are ^(P)a priest ^(Q)forever
    after the order of ^(R)Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your ^(S)right hand;
    he will ^(T)shatter kings on ^(U)the day of his wrath.
⁶ He will ^(V)execute judgment among the nations,
    ^(W)filling them with corpses;
he will ^(X)shatter chiefs^[d]
    over the wide earth.
⁷ He will ^(Y)drink from the brook by the way;
    therefore he will lift up his head.

^2 (BO)Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time forth and forevermore!
^3 (BP)From the rising of the sun to its setting,
    ^(BQ)the name of the Lord is ^(BR)to be praised!

⁴ The Lord is ^(BS)high above all nations,
    and his ^(BT)glory above the heavens!
^5 (BU)Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,
⁶ who ^(BV)looks far down
    on the heavens and the earth?
⁷ He ^(BW)raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
⁸ to make them ^(BX)sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
⁹ He ^(BY)gives the barren woman a home,
    making her the joyous mother of children.
^(BZ)Praise the Lord!

^3 (CD)The sea looked and fled;
    ^(CE)Jordan turned back.
^4 (CF)The mountains skipped like rams,
    the hills like lambs.

⁵ What ^(CG)ails you, O sea, that you flee?
    O Jordan, that you turn back?
⁶ O mountains, that you skip like rams?
    O hills, like lambs?

^7 (CH)Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸ who turns ^(CI)the rock into ^(CJ)a pool of water,
    ^(CK)the flint into a spring of water.

² Why should the nations say,
    ^(CN)“Where is their God?”
^3 (CO)Our God is in the heavens;
    ^(CP)he does all that he pleases.

^4 (CQ)Their idols are silver and gold,
    ^(CR)the work of human hands.
⁵ They have mouths, ^(CS)but do not speak;
    eyes, but do not see.
⁶ They have ears, but do not hear;
    noses, but do not smell.
⁷ They have hands, but do not feel;
    feet, but do not walk;
    and they do not make a sound in their throat.
^8 (CT)Those who make them become like them;
    so do all who trust in them.

⁹ O ^(CU)Israel,^{[h] (CV)}trust in the Lord!
    He is their ^(CW)help and their shield.
¹⁰ O ^(CX)house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
    He is their help and ^(CY)their shield.
¹¹ You ^(CZ)who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
    He is their help and their shield.

¹² The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;
    he will bless ^(DA)the house of Israel;
    he will bless ^(DB)the house of Aaron;
¹³ he will ^(DC)bless those who fear the Lord,
    ^(DD)both the small and the great.

¹⁴ May the Lord ^(DE)give you increase,
    you and your children!
¹⁵ May ^(DF)you be blessed by the Lord,
    ^(DG)who made heaven and earth!

¹⁶ The heavens are the Lord's heavens,
    but the earth he has given to the children of man.
^17 (DH)The dead do not praise the Lord,
    nor do any who go down into ^(DI)silence.
¹⁸ But ^(DJ)we will bless the Lord
    from this time forth and forevermore.
^(DK)Praise the Lord!
