Praying Through: Psalm 110 Conquerer

The Psalm

Psalm 110 (CSB)
A psalm of David.

¹ This is the declaration of the LORD to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”

² The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion. Rule over your surrounding enemies.

³ Your people will volunteer on your day of battle. In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you.

⁴ The LORD has sworn an oath and will not take it back: “You are a priest forever according to the pattern of Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his anger.

⁶ He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses; he will crush leaders over the entire world.

⁷ He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore, he will lift up his head.

The Prayer

Lord

I was a long rejector

of your great gospel
a treason traitor
of your great rule
a magnificient hater
of your great love
a terrible sinner
of your great holiness.

But you have conquered

my greatest and only enemy
my own sin
and have put my sin to open shame
because you have taken my sin upon yourself
and exposed yourself to open shame
for my sake
for my sake
you died
so I might live to you forever.

Be glorified

in my life
today.

Amen.
