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!”

YHWH said unto my Master, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy 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.

YHWH shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst 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 be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy 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.”

YHWH hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art 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].

YHWH at thy 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.
