Old/New Testament
Sit at My Right Hand
A Psalm of David.
110 (A)The Lord says to my Lord:
(B)“Sit at my right hand,
(C)until I make your enemies your (D)footstool.”
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.
Great Are the Lord's Works
111 [e] (Z)Praise the Lord!
I (AA)will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of (AB)the upright, in the congregation.
2 Great are the (AC)works of the Lord,
(AD)studied by all who delight in them.
3 (AE)Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his (AF)righteousness endures forever.
4 He has (AG)caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he (AH)remembers his covenant forever.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are (AI)trustworthy;
8 they are (AJ)established forever and ever,
to be performed with (AK)faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He sent (AL)redemption to his people;
he has (AM)commanded his covenant forever.
(AN)Holy and awesome is his name!
10 (AO)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have (AP)a good understanding.
His (AQ)praise endures forever!
The Righteous Will Never Be Moved
112 [f] (AR)Praise the Lord!
(AS)Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who (AT)greatly delights in his commandments!
2 His (AU)offspring will be mighty in the land;
(AV)the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 (AW)Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his (AX)righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness (AY)for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and (AZ)righteous.
5 It is well with the man who (BA)deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will (BB)never be moved;
(BC)he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not (BD)afraid of bad news;
his (BE)heart is firm, (BF)trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is steady;[g] he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has (BG)distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his (BH)horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he (BI)gnashes his teeth and (BJ)melts away;
(BK)the desire of the wicked will perish!
Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church
5 It is actually reported that there is (A)sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, (B)for a man has his father's wife. 2 And (C)you are arrogant! Ought you (D)not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.
3 For though (E)absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4 When you are assembled (F)in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are (G)to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so (H)that his spirit may be saved (I)in the day of the Lord.[a]
6 (J)Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that (K)a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, (L)not with the old leaven, (M)the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter (N)not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 (O)not at all meaning (P)the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, (Q)since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone (R)who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging (S)outsiders? (T)Is it not those inside the church[b] whom you are to judge? 13 God judges[c] those outside. (U)“Purge the evil person from among you.”
