Psalm 110

New American Standard Bible

The Lord Gives Dominion to the King.

A Psalm of David.

110 ^(A)The Lord says to my Lord:
“^(B)Sit at My right hand
Until I make ^(C)Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
²The Lord will stretch out Your strong ^(D)scepter from Zion, saying,
“^(E)Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”
³Your ^(F)people ^[a]will volunteer freely on the day of Your ^[b]power;
^(G)In ^[c]holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,
^[d]Your youth are to You as the ^(H)dew.

⁴^(I)The Lord has sworn and will ^(J)not ^[e]change His mind,
“You are a ^(K)priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
⁵The Lord is ^(L)at Your right hand;
He ^[f]will ^(M)shatter kings in the ^(N)day of His wrath.
⁶He will ^(O)judge among the nations,
He ^[g]will fill them with ^(P)corpses,
He ^[h]will ^(Q)shatter the ^[i]chief men over a broad country.
⁷He will ^(R)drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will ^(S)lift up His head.

Psalm 9

New American Standard Bible

Thanksgiving for God’s Justice.

For the music director; on ^[a]Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.

9 I will give thanks to the Lord with all ^(A)my heart;
I will ^(B)tell of all Your ^[b]wonders.
²I will rejoice and be ^(C)jubilant in You;
I will ^(D)sing praise to Your name, O ^(E)Most High.

³When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and ^(F)perish before You.
⁴For You have ^(G)maintained ^[c]my just cause;
You have sat on the throne ^[d]^(H)judging righteously.
⁵You have ^(I)rebuked the nations, You have eliminated the wicked;
You have ^(J)wiped out their name forever and ever.
⁶^[e]The enemy has come to an end in everlasting ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very ^(K)memory of them has perished.

⁷But the ^(L)Lord ^[f]sits as King forever;
He has established His ^(M)throne for judgment,
⁸And He will ^(N)judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly.
⁹^[g]The Lord will also be a ^(O)stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble;
¹⁰And ^[h]those who ^(P)know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, Lord, have not ^(Q)abandoned those who seek You.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, who ^(R)dwells in Zion;
^(S)Declare His deeds among the peoples.
¹²For ^(T)He who ^[i]requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget ^(U)the cry of the needy.
¹³Be gracious to me, Lord;
See my oppression from those ^(V)who hate me,
You who ^(W)lift me up from the gates of death,
¹⁴So that I may tell of ^(X)all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may ^(Y)rejoice in Your ^[j]salvation.
¹⁵The nations have sunk down ^(Z)into the pit which they have made;
In the ^(AA)net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
¹⁶The Lord has ^(AB)made Himself known;
He has ^(AC)executed judgment.
A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. ^[k]Higgaion Selah

¹⁷The wicked will ^[l]^(AD)return to ^[m]Sheol,
All the nations who ^(AE)forget God.
¹⁸For the ^(AF)needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the ^(AG)hope of the afflicted perish forever.
¹⁹^(AH)Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail;
Let the nations be ^(AI)judged before You.
²⁰Put them ^(AJ)in fear, Lord;
Let the nations know that they are ^(AK)merely human. Selah

Psalm 32

New American Standard Bible

Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.

A Psalm of David. A ^[a]Maskil.

32 ^(A)How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
²How blessed is a person whose guilt the Lord ^(B)does not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is ^(C)no deceit!

³When ^(D)I kept silent about my sin, ^(E)my ^[b]body wasted away
Through my ^[c]^(F)groaning all day long.
⁴For day and night ^(G)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My ^[d]^(H)vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah
⁵I ^(I)acknowledged my sin to You,
And I ^(J)did not hide my guilt;
I said, “^(K)I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord”;
And You ^(L)forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
⁶Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You ^[e]^(M)in a time when You may be found;
Certainly ^(N)in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.
⁷You are ^(O)my hiding place; You ^(P)keep me from trouble;
You surround me with ^[f]^(Q)songs of deliverance. Selah

⁸I will ^(R)instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you ^(S)with My eye upon you.
⁹Do not be ^(T)like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
¹⁰The ^(U)sorrows of the wicked are many,
But ^(V)the one who trusts in the Lord, goodness will surround him.
¹¹Be ^(W)glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are ^(X)upright in heart.
