Psalms 110

   |   

The Lord and His Chosen King[a]

1 (a)The Lord said to my lord,
    "Sit here at my right side
    until I put your enemies under your feet."
2 From Zion the Lord will extend your royal power.
    "Rule over your enemies," he says.
3 On the day you fight your enemies,
    your people will volunteer.
Like the dew of early morning
    your young men will come to you on the sacred hills.[b]

4 (b)The Lord made a solemn promise and will not take it back:
    "You will be a priest forever
    in the priestly order of Melchizedek."[c]

5 The Lord is at your right side;
    when he becomes angry, he will defeat kings.
6 He will pass judgment on the nations
    and fill the battlefield with corpses;
    he will defeat kings all over the earth.
7 The king will drink from the stream by the road,
    and strengthened, he will stand victorious.
