Psalm 85

Benedixisti, Domine
1
Lord, you have been gracious to your land; *
you have turned away the captivity of Jacob.
2
You have forgiven the offence of your people *
and covered all their sins.
3
You have taken away all your displeasure *
and turned yourself from your wrathful indignation.
4
Restore us then, O God our Savior, *
and let your anger cease from us.
5
Will you be displeased at us for ever, *
and will you stretch out your wrath from one generation to another?
6
Will you not turn again and quicken us, *
that your people may rejoice in you?
7
Show us your mercy, O Lord, *
and grant us your salvation.
8
I will hearken to what the Lord God will say, *
for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again.
9
For his salvation is near to those who fear him, *
that glory may dwell in our land.
10
Mercy and truth have met together; *
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11
Truth shall flourish out of the earth, *
and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12
Indeed, the Lord shall show goodness, *
and our land shall give its increase.
13
Righteousness shall go before him, *
and he shall direct his going in the way.

Psalm 110

Dixit Dominus
1
The Lord said unto my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, *
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2
The Lord shall send the scepter of your power out of Zion: *
“Rule in the midst of your enemies.”
3
In the day of your power the people, in holy raiment, shall offer you freewill offerings; *
from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth belongs to you.
4
The Lord has sworn and will not recant: *
You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5
The Lord at your right hand *
shall smite kings in the day of his wrath.
6
He shall judge the nations; *
he shall fill the lands with dead bodies, and strike down heads over many countries.
7
He shall drink from the brook by the way; *
therefore shall he lift up his head.
