Psalm 110 "The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit here at my right hand" Tune: Silchester Falkirk Free Church The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as a one-to-one correspondence. images: Joshua and the five kings from the cave at Makkedah (Joshua 10) The Conquest of the Amorites - James Tissot (Joshua) Peter standing up with the Eleven on the Day of Pentecost - Arthur Twidle (Acts 2) Abraham y Melquisedec, por Juan Antonio de Frías (Genesis 14) The Day of the LORD at Gibeon and the Valley of Aijalon (Joshua 10) The road down from Beth Horon to Azekah (Joshua 10) The Ascension of Jesus (Acts 1) This is the most frequently quoted psalm in the New Testament particularly to do with the trinity. Matthew 26:64, Mark 12:36, 14:62, Luke 20: 41–44, Acts 2: 34–36, 1 Corinthians 15: 25, Hebrews 5:1–6, 6:20, 7:4–7, 7:17–24 Some argue that v7 picks up from Samson's spring of the crier; others mention the river in the heavenly Zion. PSALM 110 S.M. 1 The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit here at my right hand, Until I make your foes a stool on which your feet may stand.” 2 The LORD will make your reign extend from Zion’s hill; With royal power you’ll rule among those who oppose your will. 3 When you display your power, your people flock to you; At dawn, arrayed in holiness, your youth will come like dew. 4 Unchangeably the LORD with solemn purpose swore: “Just like Melchizedek you are a priest for evermore.” 5 The Lord’s at your right hand; there he will ever stay. He on his day of wrath will crush the kings who bar his way. 6 The nations he will judge; the dead in heaps will lie. The mighty of the earth he’ll crush— all who his rule defy. 7 A brook beside the way his thirst will satisfy; And, thus refreshed, he will with joy lift up his head on high.

He saved them from their enemies 3 and brought them from the lands, From east and west, from north and south, safe from oppressing hands. 4 Some wandered in the desert wastes, not finding any way To reach a city where they might obtain a place to stay. 5 Their life and strength were ebbing fast in thirst and emptiness. 6 Then in despair they sought the LORD, who saved them from distress. 7 Straight was the path he led them on, a city to attain. 8 So for the LORD’s unfailing love let them give thanks again, And for the awesome deeds of power which he for them achieves— 9 For hungry souls he fills with good; the thirsty he relieves. 10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom, in chains of iron held; 11 They scorned the ways of God Most High, against his words rebelled. 12 And so he made them labour hard in bitterness and shame. They stumbled, and they could not rise; to help them no one came. 13 Then to the LORD they cried for help; he saved them from their doom. 14 He broke away their cruel chains and brought them out of gloom. 15 So let them thank him for his love, the deeds which he achieves— 16 Because he breaks down gates of bronze and iron bars he cleaves. 17 Some erred through their rebellious ways and for their sins paid dear. 18 All kinds of food revolted them; the gates of death drew near. 19 Then in despair they sought the LORD; he saved them from their doom. 20 His word went forth with healing power and kept them from the tomb. 21 So for the LORD’s unfailing love let them give thanks again; And for the awesome deeds of power which he achieves for men. 22 Let them prepare a sacrifice and bring an offering; In praise of all his mighty acts let them rejoice and sing. 23 Yet others traded on the sea; they sailed the ocean’s length. 24 They saw the wonders of the LORD, and on the deep his strength. 25 For when he spoke, a tempest rose; the sea grew wild and rough. 26 They mounted up to heaven, and then went down into the trough.

(Jonah 1: 13-17) PSALM 107 C.M. 1 Praise GOD, for he is good: for still his mercies lasting be. 2 Let GOD’s redeemed say so, whom he from th’ en’my’s hand did free; 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from north, south, east, and west. 4 They strayed in desert’s pathless way, no city found to rest. 5 For thirst and hunger in them faints 6 their soul. When straits them press, They cry unto the LORD, and he them frees from their distress. 7 Them also in a way to walk that right is he did guide, That they might to a city go, wherein they might abide. 8 O that men to the LORD would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 9 For he the soul that longing is doth fully satisfy; With goodness he the hungry soul doth fill abundantly. 10 Such as shut up in darkness deep, and in death’s shade abide, Whom strongly hath affliction bound, and irons fast have tied: 11 Because against the words of God they wrought rebelliously, And they the counsel did contemn of him that is Most High: 12 Their heart he did bring down with grief, they fell, no help could have. 13 In trouble then they cried to GOD, he them from straits did save. 14 He out of darkness did them bring, and from death’s shade them take; These bands, wherewith they had been bound, asunder quite he brake. 15 O that men to the LORD would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 16 Because the mighty gates of brass in pieces he did tear, By him in sunder also cut the bars of iron were. 17 Fools, for their sin, and their offence, do sore affliction bear; 18 All kind of meat their soul abhors; they to death’s gates draw near. 19 In grief they cry to GOD; he saves them from their miseries. 20 He sends his word, them heals, and them from their destruction frees. 21 O that men to the LORD would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 22 And let them sacrifice to him off’rings of thankfulness; And let them show abroad his works in songs of joyfulness. 23 Who go to sea in ships, and in great waters trading be, 24 Within the deep these men GOD’s works and his great wonders see. 25 For he commands, and forth in haste the stormy tempest flies, Which makes the sea with rolling waves aloft to swell and rise. 26 They mount to heav’n, then to the depths they do go down again; Their soul doth faint and melt away with trouble and with pain. 27 They reel and stagger like one drunk, at their wit’s end they be: 28 Then they to GOD in trouble cry, who them from straits doth free. 29 The storm is changed into a calm at his command and will; So that the waves, which raged before, now quiet are and still. 30 Then are they glad, because at rest and quiet now they be: So to the haven he them brings, which they desired to see. 31 O that men to the LORD would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 32 Among the people gatherèd let them exalt his name; Among assembled elders spread his most renownèd fame. 33 He to dry land turns water-springs, and floods to wilderness; 34 For sins of those that dwell therein, fat land to barrenness. 35 The burnt and parchèd wilderness to water-pools he brings; The ground that was dried up before he turns to water-springs: 36 And there, for dwelling, he a place doth to the hungry give, That they a city may prepare commodiously to live. 37 There sow they fields, and vineyards plant, to yield fruits of increase. 38 His blessing makes them multiply, lets not their beasts decrease. 39 Again they are diminishèd, and very low brought down, Through sorrow and afflïction, and great opprëssion. 40 He upon princes pours contempt, and causeth them to stray, And wander in a wilderness, wherein there is no way. 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from all his miseries, And he, much like unto a flock, doth make him families. 42 They that are righteous shall rejoice, when they the same shall see; And, as ashamèd, stop her mouth shall all iniquity. 43 Whoso is wise, and will these things observe, and them record, Ev’n they shall understand the love and kindness of the LORD.

Do you all seek to lay him low— This leaning wall, this tottering fence— And bring about his overthrow? 4 They plan his fall from his high place; They take delight in spreading lies. With false and flattering mouths they bless, But in their hearts curse and despise. 5 Find rest, my soul, in God alone; In him my hope is ever sure. 6 My safety, fortress, sheltering rock— In him alone I am secure. 7 My honour and salvation rest On God, my rock and mighty fort. 8 O people, trust in him always; To him alone pour out your heart. 9 The low-born man is but a breath; The high-born man is but a lie. Weighed in a balance, side by side, They come to nothing but a sigh. 10 Do not seek after wealth by force, Or triumph in ill-gotten gain; And even though your goods increase, Set not your heart on what is vain. 11 My God has spoken; I have heard 12 That you are strong and loving, Lord. Each one according to his deeds You will assuredly reward.
