Psalms 110

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

A psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for you.”

2 YHWH will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.

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

3 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.

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.

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

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

5 YHWH is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

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

6 He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will shatter the head throughout a vast territory.

He will execute judgment on the nations, filling their lands with corpses. He will strike down those who rule all over the earth.

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

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