The LORD Gives Dominion to the King

1101 The Lord says to my Lord : " Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool e for Your feet ." 2 The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion , saying, " Rule in the midst of Your enemies ." 3 Your 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 . 4 The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind , "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek ."

5 The Lord is at Your right hand ; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath . 6 He will judge among the nations , He will fill them with corpses , He will shatter the chief men over a broad country . 7 He will drink from the brook by the wayside ; Therefore e He will lift up His head .

The LORD's Care for His People

1111 Praise the Lord ! I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart , In the company of the upright and in the assembly . 2 Great are the works of the Lord ; They are studied by all who delight in them. 3 Splendid and majestic is His work , And His righteousness endures forever . 4 He has made His wonders to be remembered ; The Lord is gracious and compassionate . 5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever .

6 He has made known to His people the power of His works , In giving them the heritage of the nations . 7 The works of His hands are truth and justice ; All His precepts are sure . 8 They are upheld forever and ever ; They are performed in truth and uprightness . 9 He has sent redemption to His people ; He has ordained His covenant forever ; Holy and awesome is His name . 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom ; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever .

The Prosperity of Him Who Fears the LORD

1121 Praise the Lord ! How blessed is the man who fears the Lord , Who greatly delights in His commandments . 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth ; The generation of the upright will be blessed . 3 Wealth and riches are in his house , And his righteousness endures forever . 4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright ; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous . 5 It is well with the man who is gracious and lends ; He will maintain his cause in judgment .

6 For he will never e be shaken ; The righteous will be remembered forever . 7 He will not fear evil tidings ; His heart is steadfast , trusting in the Lord . 8 His heart is upheld , he will not fear , Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries . 9 He has given freely to the poor , His righteousness endures forever ; His horn will be exalted in honor . 10 The wicked will see it and be vexed , He will gnash his teeth and melt away ; The desire of the wicked will perish .

Judgment of Immorality

51 It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles , that someone has his father's wife . 2 You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead , so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst . 3 For I, on my part , though absent in body but present in spirit , have already judged him who has so committed this , as though I were present . 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus , when you are assembled , and I with you in spirit , with the power of our Lord Jesus , 5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh , so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus . 6 Your boasting is not good . Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump , just as you are in fact unleavened . For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed . 8 Therefore let us celebrate the feast , not with old leaven , nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness , but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth .

9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people ; 10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world , or with the covetous and swindlers , or with idolaters , for then you would have to go out of the world . 11 But actually , I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person , or covetous , or an idolater , or a reviler , or a drunkard , or a swindler -not even to eat with such a one . 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders e ? Do you not judge those who are within the church? 13 But those who are outside , God judges . REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES e .
