Psalm of David.

110 Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.

² Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies.

³ Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning [shall come] to thee the dew of thy youth.

⁴ Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

⁵ The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger.

⁶ He shall judge among the nations; he shall fill [all places] with dead bodies; he shall smite through the head over a great country.

⁷ He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head.

3 My son, forget not my teaching, and let thy heart observe my commandments;

² for length of days, and years of life, and peace shall they add to thee.

³ Let not loving-kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

⁴ and thou shalt find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

⁵ Confide in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not unto thine own intelligence;

⁶ in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will make plain thy paths.

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:

⁸ it shall be health for thy navel, and moisture for thy bones.

⁹ Honour Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;

¹⁰ so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

¹¹ My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement;

¹² for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

¹¹ Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against [his] brother, or judges his brother, speaks against [the] law and judges [the] law. But if thou judgest [the] law, thou art not doer of [the] law, but judge.

¹² One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art *thou* who judgest thy neighbour?

¹³ Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make gain,

¹⁴ ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, ([for] what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing,)

¹⁵ instead of your saying, If the Lord should [so] will and we should live, we will also do this or that.

¹⁶ But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

¹⁷ To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
