Psalms 110

1 Psalm of David. Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.

A psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for you.”

2 Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies.

The Lord will expand your royal power from Zion; you will rule over your enemies.

3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning [shall come] to thee the dew of thy youth.

Your people willingly follow you on the day when your power is revealed on the holy mountains, renewed in strength every morning like dew at dawn.

4 Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

The Lord has made a vow he will not break: “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger.

The Lord stands right beside you to support you; he will strike down kings in his anger.

6 He shall judge among the nations; he shall fill [all places] with dead bodies; he shall smite through the head over a great country.

He will execute judgment on the nations, filling their lands with corpses. He will strike down those who rule all over the earth.

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

He will drink from streams beside the path. Therefore he will be victorious.
