< 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.” Jehovah said to my lord, “Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.”
2 The Lord will expand your royal power from Zion; you will rule over your enemies.
Jehovah will extend the sceptre of thy power from Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine 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.
Thy people shall be ready, when thou musterest thy forces, in holy splendor; Thy youth shall come forth like dew from the womb of the morning.
4 The Lord has made a vow he will not break: “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.”
Jehovah hath sworn, and he will not repent: “Thou art a priest for ever, After the order of Melchisedeck!”
5 The Lord stands right beside you to support you; he will strike down kings in his anger.
The Lord is at thy right hand, He shall 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 shall execute justice among the nations; He shall fill them with dead bodies, He shall crush the heads of his enemies over many lands.
7 He will drink from streams beside the path. Therefore he will be victorious.
He shall drink of the brook in the way; Therefore shall he lift up his head.
