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 by David.] YHWH says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

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

YHWH will send forth the rod of your strength out of 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.

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

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

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

YHWH is at your right hand. He will crush 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 among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will shatter the head throughout a vast territory.

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

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