[¶0] A Psalm of David

[¶1] 1 Jehovah said to my Lord, “Sit thou at my right hand, “Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.”

[¶2] 2 The scepter of thy power send shall Jehovah out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

[¶3] 3 Thy people shall come with voluntary offerings, On the day of the assembling of thy army, In beauty of holiness: From the womb as from the morning dawn To thee has been the dew of thy youth.

[¶4] 4 Sworn hath Jehovah, and he will not repent: “Thou art a priest for ever “According to the manner of Melchisedek.”

[¶5] 5 The Lord at thy right hand Hath crushed in the day of his wrath kings.

[¶6] 6 He shall judge among the heathen, He shall fill all with ruins; He shall crush the head over a great country.

[¶7] 7 Of the torrent in the way he shall drink, Therefore shall he lift up the head.

### Psalm 111

[¶9] Hallelujah

[¶10] 1 א I will celebrate Jehovah with my whole heart, ב In the congregation of the just, and in the assembly.

[¶11] 2 ג Great are the works of Jehovah, ד Sought out of all who have pleasure in them.

[¶12] 3 ה Beautiful and honorable is his work; ו And his righteousness endureth for ever.

[¶13] 4 ז He hath made a memorial by his wonderful works: ח Merciful and compassionate is Jehovah.

[¶14] 5 ט A portion he hath given to those who fear him: י He will remember for ever his covenant.

[¶15] 6 כ The might of his works he hath proclaimed to his people, ל To give them the heritage of the heathen.

[¶16] 7 מ The works of his hands are truth and judgment: נ True are all his statutes,

[¶17] 8 ס And established for ever — ע Made in truth and rectitude.

[¶18] 9 פ Redemption he hath sent to his people; ץ He hath commanded for ever his covenant: ק Holy and terrible is his name.

[¶19] 10 ר The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Jehovah; ש A good understanding have all those who do them: ת His praise endureth for ever.
