PSALM 110. _Dixit Dominus_.
The Lord said unto my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Sion: be thou
ruler, even in the midst among thine enemies.
3 In the day of thy power shall thy people offer thee free-will
offerings with an holy worship: the dew of thy birth is of the
womb of the morning.
4 The Lord sware, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchisedech.
5 The Lord upon thy right hand: shall wound even kings in the day
of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen; he shall fill the places
with the dead bodies: and smite in sunder the heads over divers
countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift
up his head.
PSALM 111. _Confitebor tibi_.
I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart: secretly
among the faithful, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great: sought out of all them that have
pleasure therein.
3 His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour: and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
4 The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his marvellous works:
that they ought to be had in remembrance.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he shall ever be
mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works: that he may
give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgement: all his
commandments are true.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever: and are done in truth and
equity.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant
for ever; holy and reverend is his Name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good
understanding have all they that do thereafter; the praise of it
endureth for ever.
PSALM 112. _Beatus vir_.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he hath great delight
in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the
faithful shall be blessed.
3 Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house: and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness: he is
merciful, loving, and righteous.
5 A good man is merciful, and lendeth: and will guide his words
with discretion.
6 For he shall never be moved: and the righteous shall be had in
everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of any evil tidings: for his heart standeth
fast, and believeth in the Lord.
8 His heart is established, and will not shrink: until he see his
desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor: and his
righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with
honour.
10 The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him: he shall
gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly
shall perish.
PSALM 113. _Laudate, pueri_.
Praise the Lord, ye servants: O praise the Name of the Lord.
