< Psalms 110 >

1 Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”
لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: «ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْكَ».١
2 Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.
يُرْسِلُ ٱلرَّبُّ قَضِيبَ عِزِّكَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ. تَسَلَّطْ فِي وَسَطِ أَعْدَائِكَ.٢
3 On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”
شَعْبُكَ مُنْتَدَبٌ فِي يَوْمِ قُوَّتِكَ، فِي زِينَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ مِنْ رَحِمِ ٱلْفَجْرِ، لَكَ طَلُّ حَدَاثَتِكَ.٣
4 Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”
أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَلَنْ يَنْدَمَ: «أَنْتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ».٤
5 Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].
ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ يُحَطِّمُ فِي يَوْمِ رِجْزِهِ مُلُوكًا.٥
6 He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.
يَدِينُ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. مَلَأَ جُثَثًا أَرْضًا وَاسِعَةً. سَحَقَ رُؤُوسَهَا.٦
7 But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ يَشْرَبُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، لِذَلِكَ يَرْفَعُ ٱلرَّأْسَ.٧
