You Are a Priest Forever

Of David. A Psalm.

110 (A)Yahweh says to my Lord:
(B)Sit at My right hand
Until I put (C)Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”
Yahweh will stretch forth Your strong (D)scepter from Zion, saying,
(E)Have dominion in the midst of Your enemies.”
Your (F)people [a]will offer themselves freely in the day of Your [b]power;
(G)In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
The (H)dew of Your youthfulness will be Yours.

(I)Yahweh has sworn and will (J)not [c]change His mind,
“You are a (K)priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord is (L)at Your right hand;
He [d]will (M)crush kings in the (N)day of His anger.
He will (O)render justice among the nations,
He [e]will fill them with (P)corpses,
He [f]will (Q)crush the [g]head that is over the wide earth.
He will (R)drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will (S)lift up His head.
