Psalms 110

1 “A psalm of David.” Jehovah said to my lord, “Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.”

A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

2 Jehovah will extend the sceptre of thy power from Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies!

The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion: “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

3 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.

Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

4 Jehovah hath sworn, and he will not repent: “Thou art a priest for ever, After the order of Melchisedeck!”

The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at thy right hand, He shall crush kings in the day of his wrath.

The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

6 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.

He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide.

7 He shall drink of the brook in the way; Therefore shall he lift up his head.

He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.
