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!”

A Psalme of David. The Lord said vnto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.

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.

The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion: be thou ruler in the middes of thine enemies.

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.”

Thy people shall come willingly at the time of assembling thine armie in holy beautie: the youth of thy wombe shalbe as the morning dewe.

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.”

The Lord sware and wil not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer after ye order of Melchi-zedek.

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

The Lord, that is at thy right hand, shall wound Kings in the day of his wrath.

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.

He shalbe iudge among the heathen: he shall fill all with dead bodies, and smite the head ouer great countreis.

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

He shall drinke of the brooke in the way: therefore shall he lift vp his head.
