Psalms 110

1 A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine 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 rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.

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

3 Thy people [are] free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from 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 Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, 'Thou [art] a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'

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

5 The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.

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

6 He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.

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

7 From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!

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