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!”

Af David. En Salme. HERREN sagde til min Herre: »Sæt dig ved min højre Haand, til jeg lægger dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder!«

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.

Fra Zion udrækker HERREN din Vældes Spir; hersk midt iblandt dine Fjender!

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.”

Dit Folk møder villigt frem paa din Vældes Dag; i hellig Prydelse kommer dit unge Mandskab til dig som Dug af Morgenrødens Moderskød.

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.”

HERREN har svoret og angrer det ej: »Du er Præst evindelig paa Melkizedeks Vis.«

5 Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

Herren ved din højre knuser Konger paa sin Vredes Dag,

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.

blandt Folkene holder han Dom, fylder op med døde, knuser Hoveder viden om Lande.

7 But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.

Han drikker af Bækken ved Vejen, derfor løfter han Hovedet højt.
