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!”

Ein Psalm Davids. Der HERR sprach 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.

Der HERR wird das Zepter deiner Macht ausstrecken von Zion: 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 kommt freiwillig am Tage deines Kriegszuges; in heiligem Schmuck, aus dem Schoß der Morgenröte, tritt der Tau deiner Jungmannschaft hervor.

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.”

Der HERR hat geschworen und wird es nicht bereuen: Du bist Priester in Ewigkeit 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, hat Könige zerschmettert 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 wird richten unter den Nationen, es wird viele Leichname geben, er zerschmettert das Haupt über ein großes Land.

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

Er wird trinken vom Bach am Wege; darum wird er das Haupt erheben.
