July 13, 2010 Psalms 110-113

110. The King as Priest and Victor. God asked Jesus to sit at his right hand until He makes His enemies a footstool for His feet. The Lord will give power to rule and troops that will fight for you. God has promised and will not change his mind that “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” (Genesis 14:18) The Lord is at your right hand and will crush powerful people when He gets angry. He will judge nations leaving dead bodies everywhere. He will drink from a brook wherever he chooses, in victory.

111. Praise THE Lord for All He Has Done. Shout praises to God! David would give thanks to God anywhere He was. Great are the works of the Lord especially to those who ponder them and study them. He has caused His wonders to be remembered. The Lord is full of grace and compassion. He provides food for those who respect Him. He will remember His covenant forever. He has shown people His power – he gave them lands of other nations. His laws are true and right and will stand forever. Respect God and obey His commandments, then you will be wise. Praise God forever.

112. The Prosperity of the Righteous. Blessed is the man who respects God and finds peace and contentment in obeying his teachings. He will be blessed with a long line of children. Wealth and riches are in his house. Even when it’s dark the righteous man lives in light, he is gracious, compassionate and righteous. Good things will come to a person who lends freely and is honest. People remember good people. A good man trusts God and has no fear of bad news. He is secure in the knowledge that God will protect him. He gives freely to the poor and he will be honored. The wicked man will be jealous and never get what he truly wants.

113. The Lord Helps People in Need. Praise God now and forever. He raises the poor and needy to high places. He makes the barren woman a joyful mother in her house. Praise the Lord!
