What does Psalms Chapter 110 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

Atlas of Saints · Chapter summary

Wholehearted praise is promised in council and congregation. Food given differs from future covenant mindfulness and power-showing. Fear begins wisdom and commands are called faithful in truth and equity.

Chapter breakdown

Confitebor tibi, Domine is the incipit; the heading names praise for graces and church benefits, followed by Alleluia. The speaker will praise wholeheartedly in just people's council and congregation. Works are great and sought according to all God's wills; His work is praise and magnificence and justice continues forever. No Hebrew-acrostic demonstration or selective assembly scene is added.

The merciful gracious Lord made remembrance of wonders and has given food to those fearing Him. He will remember covenant forever and show people works' power, that He may give Gentiles' inheritance. Future showing and purpose of giving are not changed into completed land transfer. His hands' works are truth and judgment and all commands faithful, confirmed forever in truth and equity.

He sent redemption, commanded covenant forever and His name is holy and terrible. Fear of the Lord begins wisdom; good understanding is to those doing it, with praise forever. The maxim is retained without a new causal proof that food provision constitutes the entire memorial or that it is the sole intellectual gateway.
