Psalm 110A Psalm of David.1 The LORD said to my Lord,“Sit at My right hand,Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.Rule in the midst of Your enemies!3 Your people shall be volunteersIn the day of Your power;In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,You have the dew of Your youth.4 The LORD has swornAnd will not relent,“You are a priest foreverAccording to the order of Melchizedek.”5 The Lord is at Your right hand;He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath.6 He shall judge among the nations,He shall fill the places with dead bodies,He shall execute the heads of many countries.7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;Therefore He shall lift up the head.

Verse 1 Blest is the man whose trespass is forgiven, Whose sins are covered in the sight of Heaven. Blest is the man against whom, LORD, Thou wilt not count all his iniquity and guilt. How happy he, contrite of heart and lowly, Who has confessed his sins, O LORD most holy; Who does not secretly • Thy laws transgress, Whose spirit harbors no deceitfulness.Verse 2 When I kept silent, sinful ways condoning, I pined away through my incessant groaning. Thy hand weighed down on me in my deceit; My strength was sapped as by the summer's heat. To Thee, O God of justice and compassion, I then at last acknowledged my transgression. I said, "I will confess • my sins to Thee," And all my guilt Thou hast forgiven me.Verse 3 Let all the godly when they grieve and suffer To Thee, O LORD, their supplications offer. Surely when floods of mighty waters rise, They shall not reach him who on Thee relies. Thou art a hiding place for those who serve Thee; Thou, mighty God, from trouble dost preserve me. Songs of deliverance ev' • rywhere resound: Thou me with great rejoicing dost surround.Verse 4 I will instruct you, with my aid provide you, And in your way I, with My eye, will guide you. My counsel will be ever at your side, And, keeping watch, I will with you abide. Be not a fool, who has no understanding; Do not behave like horse or mule, depending On bit and bridle to • control their course; They disobey unless restrained by force.Verse 5 With many woes the wicked are afflicted, But he who trusts in God is well protected. Him will the LORD with steadfast love surround, Those who revere Him are with mercy crowned. Be glad, O righteous, in the LORD rejoicing; Exult in Him, your jubilation voicing, For light and life He will • to You impart. Now shout for joy, you men of upright heart.

At Christ Covenant Church, our 50 year goal is to train our body of believers to sing all 150 Psalms. In the month of February, we learned Psalm 144 which is, as most Psalms are, relevant to the battle at hand today. This metrical psalm was written by Julie and Timothy Tennent of Seedbed and the rousing music written by Leonard R. Payton of St. John Lutheran Church and the music was sourced from the Treasury of Psalms and Hymns #460.
