< Psalms 110 >
1 “By David, a psalm.” The Eternal saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a stool for thy feet.
“A psalm of David.” Jehovah said to my lord, “Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.”
2 The staff of thy strength will the Eternal stretch forth out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
Jehovah will extend the sceptre of thy power from Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies!
3 Thy people will bring freewill-gifts on the day of thy power, in the ornaments of holiness: as out of the bosom of the morning-dawn so is thine the dew of thy youth.
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 hath sworn, and will not repent of it, Thou shalt be a priest for ever after the order of Malki-zedek.
Jehovah hath sworn, and he will not repent: “Thou art a priest for ever, After the order of Melchisedeck!”
5 The Lord at thy right hand crusheth kings on the day of his wrath.
The Lord is at thy right hand, He shall crush kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge among the nations—there shall be a fulness of corpses—he crusheth heads on a wide-spread land.
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 From the brook will he drink on the way: therefore will he lift up the head.
He shall drink of the brook in the way; Therefore shall he lift up his head.
