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. Yahweh says to my master, “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.

Yahweh will hold out the scepter of your strength from Zion; rule among 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 will follow you in holy garments of their own free will on the day of your power; from the womb of the dawn your youth will be to you like the dew.

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

Yahweh has sworn, and will not change: “You are a priest forever, after the manner 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 will kill kings on the day of his anger.

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 the nations; he will fill the battlegrounds with dead bodies; he will kill the leaders in many countries.

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

He will drink of the brook along the road, and then he will lift his head up high after victory.
