Psalms 110

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

[A Psalm by David.] The LORD says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

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 send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of 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 offer themselves willingly on the day of your power. On the holy mountains at sunrise the dew of your youth will be yours.

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 sworn, and will not change his mind: "You are a cohen forever in the order of Melchizedek."

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

The LORD is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

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

He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will shatter the head throughout a vast territory.

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

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