Psalms 110

1 Of David, a psalm. This said the Lord concerning my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, till I set your foot on the neck of your foes.’

A Psalm. Of David. The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

2 On Zion the Lord is wielding your sceptre of might, and charges you to rule over the foes that surround you.

The Lord will send out the rod of your strength from Zion; be king over your haters.

3 The day that you march to battle your people will follow you gladly young warriors in holy array, like dew-drops, born of the morning.

Your people give themselves gladly in the day of your power; like the dew of the morning on the holy mountains is the army of your young men.

4 The Lord has sworn and will not repent, ‘As for you, you are priest for ever as Melchizedek was.’

The Lord has made an oath, and will not take it back. You are a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.

5 By your side will the Lord shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

In the day of his wrath kings will be wounded by the Lord at your right hand.

6 He will execute judgment filling the valleys with dead, the broad fields with shattered heads.

He will be judge among the nations, the valleys will be full of dead bodies; the head over a great country will be wounded by him.

7 He will drink of the brook by the way, and march onward with uplifted head.

He will take of the stream by the way; so his head will be lifted up.
