Sit at My Right Hand

A Psalm of David.

¹The Lord says to my Lord:

“Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool.”

²The Lord sends forth from Zion

your mighty scepter.

Rule in the midst of your enemies!

³Your people will offer themselves freely

on the day of your power,1

in holy garments;2

from the womb of the morning,

the dew of your youth will be yours.3

⁴The Lord has sworn

and will not change his mind,

“You are a priest forever

after the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is at your right hand;

he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

⁶He will execute judgment among the nations,

filling them with corpses;

he will shatter chiefs4

over the wide earth.

⁷He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.

Great Are the Lord's Works

¹1 Praise the Lord!

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,

in the company of the upright, in the congregation.

²Great are the works of the Lord,

studied by all who delight in them.

³Full of splendor and majesty is his work,

and his righteousness endures forever.

⁴He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and merciful.

⁵He provides food for those who fear him;

he remembers his covenant forever.

⁶He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

⁷The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all his precepts are trustworthy;

⁸they are established forever and ever,

to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

⁹He sent redemption to his people;

he has commanded his covenant forever.

Holy and awesome is his name!

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

all those who practice it have a good understanding.

His praise endures forever!
