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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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