Psalms 109

31 For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul.

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
2 The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion: “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”
3 Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth.
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 in the day of His wrath.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide.
7 He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.

1 Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.
6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.
8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.
6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.
9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.

1 Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.
3 From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.
4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?
6 He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.
7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump
8 to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
12 The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!

1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

1 Praise the LORD, all you nations! Extol Him, all you peoples!
2 For great is His loving devotion toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Hallelujah!
