Psalms 110

1 The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

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 forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

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

3 With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.

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 hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

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

5 The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.

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

6 He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.

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 shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

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