A Psalm of David.
The Lord said unto my Lord: Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies the footstool of Thy feet.
2A sceptre of power shall the Lord send unto Thee out of Sion; rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies.
3With Thee is dominion in the day of Thy power, in the splendour of Thy saints.
4From the womb before the morning star have I begotten Thee. The Lord hath sworn and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedek.
5The Lord at Thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of His wrath.
6He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill them with dead bodies, He shall crush the heads of many upon the earth.
7He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall He lift up His head.
Alleluia.
I will confess Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright and in the congregation.
2Great are the works of the Lord, sought out in all the things that He hath willed.
3Confession and majesty are His work, and His righteousness abideth unto ages of ages.
4He made a remembrance of His wondrous deeds; merciful and compassionate is the Lord; He hath given food to them that fear Him.
5He will be mindful for ever of His covenant; the power of His works hath He declared unto His people,
6That He may give them the inheritance of the nations; the works of His hands are truth and judgement.
7Faithful are all His commandments, confirmed unto ages of ages, made in truth and uprightness.
8He hath sent redemption unto His people, He hath enjoined His covenant for ever; holy and terrible is His name.
9The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and all they that foster this have a good understanding.
10His praise abideth unto ages of ages.
Alleluia.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord; in His commandments shall he greatly delight.
2His seed shall be mighty upon the earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3Glory and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness abideth unto ages of ages.
4There hath risen up in darkness a light for the upright; he is merciful and compassionate and righteous.
5A good man is he that is compassionate and lendeth; he shall order his words with judgement, for he shall remain unshaken for ever.
6In everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be; he shall not be afraid of evil tidings.
7His heart is ready to hope in the Lord; his heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he look down upon his enemies.
8He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor, his righteousness abideth unto ages of ages; his horn shall be exalted with glory.
9The sinner shall see and be angered, he shall gnash with his teeth and melt away; the desire of the sinner shall perish.

5Who is like unto the Lord our God? Who dwelleth on high and looketh down on things that are lowly, in heaven and on the earth,
6Who raiseth up the poor man from the earth, and from the dunghill lifteth up the pauper,
7That He may seat him with princes, with the princes of His people,
8Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in a house and be a mother rejoicing over children.

When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob from among a barbarous people,
2Judea became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
3The sea beheld and fled, Jordan turned back.
4The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs of flocks.
5What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? And thou Jordan, that thou didst turn back?
6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills like lambs of flocks?
7At the presence of the Lord the earth was shaken, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8Who turneth the rock into pools of waters, and the precipice into fountains of waters.

15Hands they have, and shall not feel; feet have they, and shall not walk; they shall make no sound in their throat.
16Let those that make them become like unto them, and all that put their trust in them.
17The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord; their helper and defender is He.

I am filled with love, for the Lord will hear the voice of my supplication.
2For He hath inclined His ear unto me, and in my days will I call upon Him.
3The pangs of death have encompassed me, the perils of hades have found me.
4Tribulation and sorrow have I found, and I called upon the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
5Merciful is the Lord and righteous, and our God hath mercy.
6The Lord preserveth the infants; I was brought low and He saved me.
7Return, O my soul, unto thy rest, for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8For He hath delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from sliding.
9I will be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
