The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
The Lord is my portion; I promise to keep your words.
But the Lord's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.
I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him, so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him. I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.’” Selah
Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the Lord of hosts is his name.
Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,
For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved. Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you. You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man. Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.

For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong.
Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.
A Psalm of David. The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.” The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies!
This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.
There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
