上帝和祂拣选的王

大卫的诗歌。

110 耶和华对我主说:
“你坐在我的右边,
等我使你的仇敌成为你的脚凳。”
耶和华必从锡安扩展你的王权,
你必统管你的仇敌。
你跟仇敌作战的时候,
你的百姓必甘心跟从,
他们衣着圣洁,
如清晨的甘露。
耶和华起了誓,永不反悔,
祂说:“你照麦基洗德的模式永远做祭司。”
主在你身旁保护你,
祂发怒的时候,必毁灭列王。
祂要审判列国,
使列国尸横遍野。
祂要毁灭世上的首领。
祂要喝路旁的溪水,
祂必精神抖擞。

The Lord Appoints a King

A song of David.

110 The Lord said to my Master,
“Sit by me at my right side
    until I put your enemies under your control.”
The Lord will make you king in Jerusalem over all nations.
    And you will rule your enemies in their own countries.
Your people will join you on the day you come to power.
    You have been dressed in holiness from birth.
    You have the freshness of a child.

The Lord has made a promise
    and will not change his mind.
He said, “You are a priest forever,
    a priest like Melchizedek.”

The Lord is beside you to help you.
    When he becomes angry, he will crush kings.
He will judge those nations, filling them with dead bodies.
    He will defeat rulers all over the world.
The king will drink from the brook on the way.
    Then he will be strengthened and win the battle.
