Salme 110

1 Af David. En Salme. HERREN sagde til min Herre: »Sæt dig ved min højre Haand, til jeg lægger dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder!«

Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

2 Fra Zion udrækker HERREN din Vældes Spir; hersk midt iblandt dine Fjender!

Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

3 Dit Folk møder villigt frem paa din Vældes Dag; i hellig Prydelse kommer dit unge Mandskab til dig som Dug af Morgenrødens Moderskød.

On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

4 HERREN har svoret og angrer det ej: »Du er Præst evindelig paa Melkizedeks Vis.«

Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

5 Herren ved din højre knuser Konger paa sin Vredes Dag,

Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

6 blandt Folkene holder han Dom, fylder op med døde, knuser Hoveder viden om Lande.

He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

7 Han drikker af Bækken ved Vejen, derfor løfter han Hovedet højt.

But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
