Psalms 110

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

A psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for you.”

2 The LORD will send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

The Lord will expand your royal power from Zion; you will rule over your enemies.

3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness: from the womb of the morning, thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Your people willingly follow you on the day when your power is revealed on the holy mountains, renewed in strength every morning like dew at dawn.

4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

The Lord has made a vow he will not break: “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.”

5 The LORD at thy right hand will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

The Lord stands right beside you to support you; he will strike down kings in his anger.

6 He will judge among the heathen, he will fill [the places] with the dead bodies; he will wound the heads over many countries.

He will execute judgment on the nations, filling their lands with corpses. He will strike down those who rule all over the earth.

7 He will drink of the brook in the way: therefore will he lift up the head.

He will drink from streams beside the path. Therefore he will be victorious.
