Psalms 108 - 114 are todays chapters for Bible in a year. Psalm 108 God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory. A Song, a Psalm of David. 1My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul. 2Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn! 3I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations. 4For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the skies. 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth. 6That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and answer me! 7God has spoken in His holiness: “I will exult, I will portion out Shechem And measure out the valley of Succoth. 8“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter. 9“Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Over Philistia I will shout aloud.” 10Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us? And will You not go forth with our armies, O God? 12Oh give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain. 13Through God we will do valiantly, And it is He who shall tread down our adversaries. Psalm 109 Vengeance Invoked upon Adversaries. For the choir director. A Psalm of David. 1O God of my praise, Do not be silent! 2For they have opened the wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 3They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without cause. 4In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer. 5Thus they have repaid me evil for good And hatred for my love. 6Appoint a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. 7When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, And let his prayer become sin. 8Let his days be few; Let another take his office. 9Let his children be fatherless And his wife a widow. 10Let his children wander about and beg; And let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes. 11Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder the product of his labor. 12Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him, Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children. 13Let his posterity be cut off; In a following generation let their name be blotted out. 14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15Let them be before the LORD continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth; 16Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted and needy man, And the despondent in heart, to put them to death. 17He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him. 18But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water And like oil into his bones. 19Let it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself. 20Let this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my soul. 21But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me; 22For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. 23I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust. 24My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness. 25I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head. 26Help me, O LORD my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness. 27And let them know that this is Your hand; You, LORD, have done it. 28Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, they shall be ashamed, But Your servant shall be glad. 29Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. 30With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the LORD; And in the midst of many I will praise Him. 31For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul. Psalm 110 The LORD Gives Dominion to the King. A Psalm of David. 1The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” 2The LORD will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.” 3Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Your youth are to You as the dew. 4The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” 5The Lord is at Your right hand; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath. 6He will judge among the nations, He will fill them with corpses, He will shatter the chief men over a broad country. 7He will drink from the brook by the wayside; Therefore He will lift up His head. Psalm 111 The LORD Praised for His Goodness. 1Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart, In the company of the upright and in the assembly. 2Great are the works of the LORD; They are studied by all who delight in them. 3Splendid and majestic is His work, And His righteousness endures forever. 4He has made His wonders to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and compassionate. 5He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever. 6He has made known to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations. 7The works of His hands are truth and justice; All His precepts are sure. 8They are upheld forever and ever; They are performed in truth and uprightness. 9He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. Psalm 112 Prosperity of the One Who Fears the LORD. 1Praise the LORD! How blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who greatly delights in His commandments. 2His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. 4Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. 5It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. 6For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. 7He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 8His heart is upheld, he will not fear, Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. 9He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor. 10The wicked will see it and be vexed, He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish. Psalm 113 The LORD Exalts the Humble. 1Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD. 2Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forever. 3From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised. 4The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. 5Who is like the LORD our God, Who is enthroned on high, 6Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth? 7He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap, 8To make them sit with princes, With the princes of His people. 9He makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! Psalm 114 God’s Deliverance of Israel from Egypt. 1When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, 2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion. 3The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back. 4The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs. 5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? 6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs? 7Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, Before the God of Jacob, 8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.
