< Psalms 110 >

1 Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: «اجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْكَ».١
2 Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.
يَجْعَلُ الرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ مُنْطَلَقاً لِسُلْطَانِكَ، وَيَقُولُ: «احْكُمْ فِي وَسَطِ أَعْدَائِكَ».٢
3 On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”
فِي يَوْمِ مُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِكَ يَتَطَوَّعُ شَعْبُكَ. يَجِيءُ شَبَابُكَ إِلَى التِّلالِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ كَالنَّدَى فِي قَلْبِ الْفَجْرِ.٣
4 Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”
أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ وَلَنْ يَتَرَاجَعَ: «أَنْتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادَقَ».٤
5 Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].
الرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ. فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِهِ يُحَطِّمُ مُلُوكاً.٥
6 He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.
يَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فَيَمْلَأُ الأَرْضَ الرَّحْبَةَ بِجُثَثِ رُؤَسَائِهَا.٦
7 But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
يَشْرَبُ الْمَلِكُ مِنَ النَّهْرِ الْمُجَاوِرِ لِلطَّرِيقِ، لِذَلِكَ يَشْمَخُ بِرَأْسِهِ مُنْتَصِراً.٧
