Psalms 110

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

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

2 The Lord shall send out a rod of power for thee out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

The Lord will send forth the scepter of your virtue from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.

3 With thee is dominion in the day of thy power, in the splendours of thy saints: I have begotten thee from the womb before the morning.

It is with you from the beginning, in the day of your virtue, in the splendor of the saints. From conception, before the light-bearer, I begot you.

4 The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.

The Lord has sworn, and he will not repent: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord at thy right hand has dashed in pieces kings in the day of his wrath.

The Lord is at your right hand. He has broken kings in the day of his wrath.

6 He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill up [the number of] corpses, he shall crush the heads of many on the earth.

He will judge between the nations; he will fill up ruination. He will shatter heads in the land of the many.

7 He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head.

He will drink from the torrent on the way. Because of this, he will exalt the head.
