Psalms 110

1 A psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for you.”

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

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

3 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.

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

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

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

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

6 He will execute judgment on the nations, filling their lands with corpses. He will strike down those who rule all over 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 will drink from streams beside the path. Therefore he will be victorious.

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