The LORD Gives Dominion to the King

1101 The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.' 2 The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies. 3 Thy people 'are' free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth. 4 Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, 'Thou 'art' a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'

5 The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger. 6 He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth. 7 From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!

The LORD's Care for His People

1111 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company. 2 Great 'are' the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them. 3 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever. 4 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful 'is' Jehovah. 5 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

6 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations. 7 The works of His hands 'are' true and just, Stedfast 'are' all His appointments. 8 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness. 9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful 'is' His name. 10 The beginning of wisdom 'is' fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise 'is' standing for ever!

The Prosperity of Him Who Fears the LORD

1121 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly. 2 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed. 3 Wealth and riches 'are' in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever. 4 Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous. 5 Good 'is' the man—gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 For—to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous. 7 Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah. 8 Sustained is his heart—he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries. 9 He hath scattered—hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour. 10 The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

Judgment of Immorality

51 Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations—as that one hath the wife of the father!— 2 and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work, 3 for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing: 4 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—ye being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Not good 'is' your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

7 cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed—Christ, 8 so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

9 I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers— 10 and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth out of the world— 11 and now, I did write to you not to keep company with 'him', if any one, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—with such a one not even to eat together; 12 for what have I also those without to judge? those within do ye not judge? 13 and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves.
