Psalms 110

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand, until I make your enemies your 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 you out of Sion: rule you in the midst of your enemies.

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

3 With you is dominion in the day of your power, in the splendours of your saints: I have begotten you 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, You are 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 your 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 amongst 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.
