Psalms 110

1 [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."

A psalm of David. Yahweh says to my master, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2 The LORD will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.

Yahweh will hold out the scepter of your strength from Zion; rule among your enemies.

3 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.

Your people will follow you in holy garments of their own free will on the day of your power; from the womb of the dawn your youth will be to you like the dew.

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

Yahweh has sworn, and will not change: “You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek.”

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

The Lord is at your right hand. He will kill kings on the day of his anger.

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

He will judge the nations; he will fill the battlegrounds with dead bodies; he will kill the leaders in many countries.

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

He will drink of the brook along the road, and then he will lift his head up high after victory.
