Psalms 110

1 A Psalm. Of David. The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

A psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for you.”

2 The Lord will send out the rod of your strength from Zion; be king over your haters.

The Lord will expand your royal power from Zion; you will rule over your enemies.

3 Your people give themselves gladly in the day of your power; like the dew of the morning on the holy mountains is the army of your young men.

Your people willingly follow you on the day when your power is revealed on the holy mountains, renewed in strength every morning like dew at dawn.

4 The Lord has made an oath, and will not take it back. You are a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.

The Lord has made a vow he will not break: “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.”

5 In the day of his wrath kings will be wounded by the Lord at your right hand.

The Lord stands right beside you to support you; he will strike down kings in his anger.

6 He will be judge among the nations, the valleys will be full of dead bodies; the head over a great country will be wounded by him.

He will execute judgment on the nations, filling their lands with corpses. He will strike down those who rule all over the earth.

7 He will take of the stream by the way; so his head will be lifted up.

He will drink from streams beside the path. Therefore he will be victorious.
