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!”

The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.

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 your strength out of Zion: rule you in the middle of your 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.”

Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have the dew of your youth.

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 has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

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

The Lord at your right hand shall strike through 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 shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

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

He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
