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!”

Av David; en salme. Herren sa til min herre: Sett dig ved min høire hånd, til jeg får lagt dine fiender til skammel for dine føtter!

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.

Ditt veldes kongestav skal Herren utstrekke fra Sion! hersk midt iblandt dine fiender!

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.”

Ditt folk møter villig frem på ditt veldes dag; i hellig prydelse kommer din ungdom til dig, som dugg ut av morgenrødens skjød.

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.”

Herren har svoret, og han skal ikke angre det: Du er prest evindelig efter Melkisedeks vis.

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

Herren ved din høire hånd knuser konger på sin vredes dag.

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.

Han holder dom iblandt hedningene, fyller op med lik, knuser hoder over den vide jord.

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

Av bekken drikker han på veien, derfor løfter han høit sitt hode.
