May those curses become the Lord’s
punishment
for my accusers who speak evil of me.
But deal well with me, O Sovereign Lord,
for the sake of your own reputation!
Rescue me
because you are so faithful and good.
For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is full of pain.
I am fading like a shadow at dusk;
I am brushed off like a locust.
My knees are weak from fasting,
and I am skin and bones.
I am a joke to people everywhere;
when they see me, they shake their
heads in scorn.
Help me, O Lord my God!
Save me because of your unfailing love.
Let them see that this is your doing,
that you yourself have done it, Lord.
Then let them curse me if they like,
but you will bless me!
When they attack me, they will be disgraced!
But I, your servant, will go right on
rejoicing!
May my accusers be clothed with disgrace;
may their humiliation cover them like
a cloak.
But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord,
praising him to everyone.
For he stands beside the needy,
ready to save them from those who
condemn them.

A psalm of David.
The Lord said to my Lord,*
“Sit in the place of honor at my right
hand
until I humble your enemies,
making them a footstool under
your feet.”
The Lord will extend your powerful
kingdom from Jerusalem*;
you will rule over your enemies.
When you go to war,
your people will serve you willingly.
You are arrayed in holy garments,
and your strength will be renewed each
day like the morning dew.
The Lord has taken an oath and will not
break his vow:
“You are a priest forever in the order of
Melchizedek.”
110:1 Or my lord. 110:2 Hebrew Zion. 111 This psalm
is a Hebrew acrostic poem; after the introductory note of
praise, each line begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew
alphabet. 112 This psalm is a Hebrew acrostic poem; after

The Lord stands at your right hand to
protect you.
He will strike down many kings when his
anger erupts.
He will punish the nations
and fill their lands with corpses;
he will shatter heads over the whole earth.
But he himself will be refreshed from brooks
along the way.
He will be victorious.

Praise the Lord!
I will thank the Lord with all
my heart
as I meet with his godly people.
How amazing are the deeds of the Lord!
All who delight in him should ponder
them.
Everything he does reveals his glory and
majesty.
His righteousness never fails.
He causes us to remember his wonderful
works.
How gracious and merciful is our Lord!
He gives food to those who fear him;
he always remembers his covenant.
He has shown his great power to his people
by giving them the lands of other nations.
All he does is just and good,
and all his commandments are
trustworthy.
They are forever true,
to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.
He has paid a full ransom for his people.
He has guaranteed his covenant with
them forever.
What a holy, awe-inspiring name he has!
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true
wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will
grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever!

Praise the Lord!
How joyful are those who fear
the Lord
and delight in obeying his commands.
Their children will be successful
everywhere;
an entire generation of godly people will
be blessed.
They themselves will be wealthy,
and their good deeds will last forever.
Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
They are generous, compassionate, and
righteous.
Good comes to those who lend money
generously
and conduct their business fairly.
