Psalms 110

1 Psalm of David. Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.

Of David, a psalm. This said the Lord concerning my lord, “Sit at my right hand, till I set your foot on the neck of your foes.”

2 Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies.

On Zion the Lord is wielding your sceptre of might, and charges you to rule over the foes that surround you.

3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning [shall come] to thee the dew of thy youth.

The day that you march to battle your people will follow you gladly young warriors in holy array, like dew-drops, born of the morning.

4 Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

The Lord has sworn and will not repent, “As for you, you are priest for ever as Melchizedek was.”

5 The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger.

By your side will the Lord shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6 He shall judge among the nations; he shall fill [all places] with dead bodies; he shall smite through the head over a great country.

He will execute judgment filling the valleys with dead, the broad fields with shattered heads.

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

He will drink of the brook by the way, and march onward with uplifted head.
