< 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.’ 2 On Zion the Lord is wielding your sceptre of might, and charges you to rule over the foes that surround you. 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. 4 The Lord has sworn and will not repent, ‘As for you, you are priest for ever as Melchizedek was.’ 5 By your side will the Lord shatter kings on the day of his wrath. 6 He will execute judgment filling the valleys with dead, the broad fields with shattered heads. 7 He will drink of the brook by the way, and march onward with uplifted head.
