Psalms 110

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

[A Psalm by David.] YHWH says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

2 The Lord shall send out a rod of power for thee out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

YHWH will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.

3 With thee is dominion in the day of thy power, in the splendours of thy saints: I have begotten thee from the womb before the morning.

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.

4 The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.

YHWH has sworn, and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

5 The Lord at thy right hand has dashed in pieces kings in the day of his wrath.

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

6 He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill up [the number of] corpses, he shall crush the heads of many on the earth.

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

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

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