Psalm 103
English Standard Version
Bless the Lord, O My Soul
Of David.
103 (A)Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 (B)Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and (C)forget not all his benefits,
3 who (D)forgives all your iniquity,
who (E)heals all your diseases,
4 who (F)redeems your life from the pit,
who (G)crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who (H)satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like (I)the eagle's.
6 The Lord works (J)righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his (K)ways to Moses,
his (L)acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is (M)merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 (N)He will not always chide,
nor will he (O)keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us (P)according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For (Q)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his (R)steadfast love toward (S)those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he (T)remove our transgressions from us.
13 As (U)a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion (V)to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;[a]
he (W)remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like (X)grass;
he flourishes like (Y)a flower of the field;
16 for (Z)the wind passes over it, and (AA)it is gone,
and (AB)its place knows it no more.
17 But (AC)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on (AD)those who fear him,
and his righteousness to (AE)children's children,
18 to those who (AF)keep his covenant
and (AG)remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has (AH)established his throne in the heavens,
and his (AI)kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the Lord, O you (AJ)his angels,
you (AK)mighty ones who (AL)do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the Lord, all his (AM)hosts,
his (AN)ministers, who do his will!
22 (AO)Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
(AP)Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Psalm 108-110
English Standard Version
With God We Shall Do Valiantly
A Song. A Psalm of David.
108 (A)My heart is steadfast, O God!
I will sing and make melody with all my being![a]
2 Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
3 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 For your steadfast love is great (B)above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6 (C)That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer me!
7 God has promised in his holiness:[b]
“With exultation I will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah my scepter.
9 Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
(D)over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12 Oh grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!
13 With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
Help Me, O Lord My God
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
109 (E)Be not silent, O (F)God of my praise!
2 For wicked and (G)deceitful mouths are opened against me,
speaking against me with lying tongues.
3 They encircle me with words of hate,
and attack me (H)without cause.
4 In return for my love they (I)accuse me,
but I (J)give myself to prayer.[c]
5 So they (K)reward me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
6 (L)Appoint a wicked man (M)against him;
let an accuser stand (N)at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;
let his (O)prayer be counted as sin!
8 May his (P)days be few;
may (Q)another take his (R)office!
9 May his (S)children be fatherless
and his wife a widow!
10 May his children (T)wander about and beg,
(U)seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
11 May (V)the creditor seize all that he has;
may (W)strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
12 Let there be none to (X)extend kindness to him,
nor any to (Y)pity his fatherless children!
13 May his (Z)posterity be cut off;
may his (AA)name be blotted out in the second generation!
14 May (AB)the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be (AC)blotted out!
15 (AD)Let them be before the Lord continually,
that he may (AE)cut off the memory of them from the earth!
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued (AF)the poor and needy
and (AG)the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 (AH)He loved to curse; let curses come[d] upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far[e] from him!
18 He (AI)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it (AJ)soak[f] into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!
20 May this be the reward of my (AK)accusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life!
21 But you, O God my Lord,
deal on my behalf (AL)for your name's sake;
because your (AM)steadfast love is good, deliver me!
22 For I am (AN)poor and needy,
and my heart is stricken within me.
23 I am gone like (AO)a shadow at evening;
I am (AP)shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak (AQ)through fasting;
my (AR)body has become gaunt, with no fat.
25 I am (AS)an object of scorn to my accusers;
when they see me, they (AT)wag their heads.
26 (AU)Help me, O Lord my God!
Save me according to your steadfast love!
27 Let them (AV)know that this is your hand;
you, O Lord, have done it!
28 (AW)Let them curse, but you will bless!
They arise and are put to shame, but (AX)your servant will be glad!
29 May my accusers be (AY)clothed with dishonor;
may they (AZ)be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!
30 With my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord;
I will (BA)praise him in the midst of the throng.
31 For he stands (BB)at the right hand of the needy one,
to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.
Sit at My Right Hand
A Psalm of David.
110 (BC)The Lord says to my Lord:
(BD)“Sit at my right hand,
(BE)until I make your enemies your (BF)footstool.”
2 The Lord sends forth (BG)from Zion
(BH)your mighty scepter.
(BI)Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3 (BJ)Your people will (BK)offer themselves freely
on the day of your (BL)power,[g]
in (BM)holy garments;[h]
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.[i]
4 (BN)The Lord has (BO)sworn
and will (BP)not change his mind,
(BQ)“You are (BR)a priest (BS)forever
after the order of (BT)Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at your (BU)right hand;
he will (BV)shatter kings on (BW)the day of his wrath.
6 He will (BX)execute judgment among the nations,
(BY)filling them with corpses;
he will (BZ)shatter chiefs[j]
over the wide earth.
7 He will (CA)drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.

8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,

on Edom(R) I toss my sandal;
over Philistia(S) I shout in triumph.”
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?(T)
12 Give us aid against the enemy,
for human help is worthless.(U)
13 With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down(V) our enemies.
Psalm 109
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 My God, whom I praise,(W)
do not remain silent,(X)
2 for people who are wicked and deceitful(Y)
have opened their mouths against me;
they have spoken against me with lying tongues.(Z)
3 With words of hatred(AA) they surround me;
they attack me without cause.(AB)
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.(AC)
5 They repay me evil for good,(AD)
and hatred for my friendship.
6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser(AE) stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,(AF)
and may his prayers condemn(AG) him.
8 May his days be few;(AH)
may another take his place(AI) of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.(AJ)
10 May his children be wandering beggars;(AK)
may they be driven[b] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor(AL) seize all he has;
may strangers plunder(AM) the fruits of his labor.(AN)
12 May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity(AO) on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,(AP)
their names blotted out(AQ) from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers(AR) be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before(AS) the Lord,
that he may blot out their name(AT) from the earth.
16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
but hounded to death the poor
and the needy(AU) and the brokenhearted.(AV)
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come back on him.(AW)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing(AX) as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,(AY)
into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped(AZ) about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment(BA) to my accusers,
to those who speak evil(BB) of me.
21 But you, Sovereign Lord,
help me for your name’s sake;(BC)
out of the goodness of your love,(BD) deliver me.(BE)
22 For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow;(BF)
I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees give(BG) way from fasting;(BH)
my body is thin and gaunt.(BI)
25 I am an object of scorn(BJ) to my accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads.(BK)
26 Help me,(BL) Lord my God;
save me according to your unfailing love.
27 Let them know(BM) that it is your hand,
that you, Lord, have done it.
28 While they curse,(BN) may you bless;
may those who attack me be put to shame,
but may your servant rejoice.(BO)
29 May my accusers be clothed with disgrace
and wrapped in shame(BP) as in a cloak.
30 With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord;
in the great throng(BQ) of worshipers I will praise him.
31 For he stands at the right hand(BR) of the needy,
to save their lives from those who would condemn them.
Psalm 110
Of David. A psalm.
2 The Lord will extend your mighty scepter(BV) from Zion,(BW) saying,

on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,(BY)
your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb.[d](BZ)
