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!”

Von David. Ein Psalm. Es spricht Jahwe zu meinem Herrn: “Setze dich zu meiner Rechten, bis ich deine Feinde hinlege als Schemel deiner Füße.”

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.

Dein mächtiges Scepter wird Jahwe vom Zion ausstrecken: Herrsche inmitten deiner Feinde!

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.”

Dein Volk ist voller Willigkeit an deinem Heertag; auf heiligen Bergen, aus dem Schoße der Morgenröte kommt dir der Tau deiner jungen Mannschaft.

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.”

Jahwe hat geschworen und läßt sich's nicht gereuen: Du bist Priester für immer nach der Weise Melchisedeks!

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

Der Herr zu deiner Rechten zerschmettert Könige am Tage seines Zorns,

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.

Er hält Gericht unter den Völkern, füllt mit Leichen an; er zerschmettert Häupter über weites Gefilde hin.

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

Aus dem Bach am Wege trinkt er, darum erhebt er das Haupt.
