Psalm 110:1 The Lord says to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand,until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 The Lord sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
111:1 Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
2 Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.

The two psalms of praise above were popular for two different reasons. The first psalm was seen as looking forward to the Messiah, Who could come, complete His work, and sit at the Father's right hand; this was fulfilled in Christ. This psalm also reveals His priestly function, similar to that of Melchizedek. The second psalm above was a congregational number focusing on the faithfulness of God. In it the psalmist points out His many glorious attributes; He is gracious, merciful, powerful, provider, just, and redeemer. As such, we are called on to fear, trust, obey, and worship Him. Today is a great day to do just that.
