< 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!”
Dawid dwom. Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me Wura se, “Tena me nifa so kosi sɛ mede wʼatamfo bɛyɛ wʼanan ase ntiaso.”
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.
Awurade bɛterɛw wʼahempema dennen mu afi Sion; na wubedi hene wɔ wʼatamfo so.
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.”
Wʼasraafo beyi wɔn koma mu da a wobɛkɔ ɔsa. Tumi kronkron bɛyɛ wʼadurade na wo mmabun bɛba wo nkyɛn sɛnea obosu gugu anɔpahema.
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.”
Awurade aka ntam na ɔrensesa nʼadwene: “Woyɛ daapem sɔfo sɛ Melkisedek sɛso.”
5 Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].
Awurade wɔ wo nifa so; ɔbɛdwerɛw ahemfo wɔ nʼabufuwhyew da no.
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.
Obebu amanaman atɛn aboaboa awufo ano; na wadwerɛw asodifo a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.
7 But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
Ɔbɛnom asuwa a ɛda ɔkwankyɛn mu nsu enti obedi nkonim. Ɔhene no bɛnom asuwa a ɛda ɔkwankyɛn mu nsu, na wanya ahoɔden, na wagyina nkonimdi mu.
