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.

Psalm 110

A psalm of David.

The Lord said to my Lord,[a]
    “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand
until I humble your enemies,
    making them a footstool under your feet.”

The Lord will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem[b];
    you will rule over your enemies.
When you go to war,
    your people will serve you willingly.
You are arrayed in holy garments,
    and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.

The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow:
    “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you.
    He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.
He will punish the nations
    and fill their lands with corpses;
    he will shatter heads over the whole earth.
But he himself will be refreshed from brooks along the way.
    He will be victorious.
