< Psalms 110 >
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. A declaration of YHWH to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand, Until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
“A psalm of David.” Jehovah said to my lord, “Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.”
2 YHWH sends the rod of Your strength from Zion, Rule in the midst of Your enemies.
Jehovah will extend the sceptre of thy power from Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies!
3 Your people [are] free-will gifts in the day of Your strength, in the honors of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, You have the dew of Your 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 YHWH has sworn, and does not relent, “You [are] a priest for all time, According to 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 on Your right hand struck kings In the day of His anger.
The Lord is at thy right hand, He shall crush kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He judges among the nations, He has completed the carcasses, Has struck the head over the mighty 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 drinks from a brook in the way, Therefore He lifts up the head!
He shall drink of the brook in the way; Therefore shall he lift up his head.
