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, ein salme. Herren sagde til min herre: «Set deg ved mi høgre hand, til dess eg legg dine fiendar til skammel for dine føter!»

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 kongsstav skal Herren retta ut frå Sion; ver herre midt imillom dine fiendar!

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 viljugt fram på ditt veldes dag; i heilagt skrud kjem din ungdom til deg som dogg or fanget på morgonroden.

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 hev svore, og han skal ikkje angra det: «Du er prest til æveleg tid etter 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 di høgre hand knasar kongar den dag han vreidest.

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 dømer millom heidningarne, fyller upp med lik, han knasar hovud utyver den vide jord.

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

Or bekken drikk han på vegen, difor lyfter han hovudet høgt.
