“Sit at my right hand^(B)
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet.”^(C)

² The Lord will extend your mighty scepter^(D) from Zion,^(E) saying,
    “Rule^(F) in the midst of your enemies!”
³ Your troops will be willing
    on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,^(G)
    your young men will come to you
    like dew from the morning’s womb.^[b](H)

⁴ The Lord has sworn
    and will not change his mind:^(I)
“You are a priest forever,^(J)

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand^[c];^(L)
    he will crush kings^(M) on the day of his wrath.^(N)
6 He will judge the nations,^(O) heaping up the dead^(P)
    and crushing the rulers^(Q) of the whole earth.
⁷ He will drink from a brook along the way,^[d]

²² “How long will you who are simple^(B) love your simple ways?
    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate^(C) knowledge?
²³ Repent at my rebuke!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
    I will make known to you my teachings.
²⁴ But since you refuse^(D) to listen when I call^(E)
    and no one pays attention^(F) when I stretch out my hand,
²⁵ since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
²⁶ I in turn will laugh^(G) when disaster^(H) strikes you;
    I will mock^(I) when calamity overtakes you^(J)—
²⁷ when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster^(K) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

²⁸ “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;^(L)
    they will look for me but will not find me,^(M)
29 since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.^(N)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
    and spurned my rebuke,^(O)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
    and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.^(P)
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
    and the complacency of fools will destroy them;^(Q)
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety^(R)
    and be at ease, without fear of harm.”^(S)

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”^[c](K)
