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 by David.] The LORD says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

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

The LORD will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of 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 offer themselves willingly on the day of your power. On the holy mountains at sunrise the dew of your youth will be yours.

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

The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

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

The LORD is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

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 judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will shatter the head throughout a vast territory.

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

He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore he will lift up his head.
