 Psalm 110

1

Psalm 110 Of David. A psalm.

1

The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

2

The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies.

3

Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth. ^[1]

4

The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

5

The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

6

He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

7

He will drink from a brook beside the way ^[2] ; therefore he will lift up his head.

 Psalm 51

1

Psalm 51 For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

1

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

2

Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

3

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

4

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.

5

Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

6

Surely you desire truth in the inner parts ^[1] ; you teach ^[2] me wisdom in the inmost place.

7

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8

Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9

Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.

10

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11

Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12

Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

13

Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.

14

Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

15

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.

16

You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

17

The sacrifices of God are ^[3] a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

18

In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19

Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

 Psalm 17

1

Psalm 17 A prayer of David.

1

Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer-- it does not rise from deceitful lips.

2

May my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.

3

Though you probe my heart and examine me at night, though you test me, you will find nothing; I have resolved that my mouth will not sin.

4

As for the deeds of men-- by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

5

My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not slipped.

6

I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.

7

Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.

8

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings

9

from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.

10

They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance.

11

They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.

12

They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a great lion crouching in cover.

13

Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword.

14

O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

15

And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
