תהילים 110

1 לדוד מזמור נאם יהוה לאדני שב לימיני עד אשית איביך הדם לרגליך׃

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!”

2 מטה עזך ישלח יהוה מציון רדה בקרב איביך׃

Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

3 עמך נדבת ביום חילך בהדרי קדש מרחם משחר לך טל ילדתיך׃

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.”

4 נשבע יהוה ולא ינחם אתה כהן לעולם על דברתי מלכי צדק׃

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.”

5 אדני על ימינך מחץ ביום אפו מלכים׃

Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

6 ידין בגוים מלא גויות מחץ ראש על ארץ רבה׃

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.

7 מנחל בדרך ישתה על כן ירים ראש׃

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