Psalm 110

Of David. A psalm.

The Lord says to my lord:[a]

‘Sit at my right hand
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet.’

The Lord will extend your mighty sceptre from Zion, saying,
    ‘Rule in the midst of your enemies!’
Your troops will be willing
    on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendour,
    your young men will come to you
    like dew from the morning’s womb.[b]

The Lord has sworn
    and will not change his mind:
‘You are a priest for ever,
    in the order of Melchizedek.’

The Lord is at your right hand[c];
    he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
He will judge nations, heaping up the dead
    and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
He will drink from a brook along the way;[d]
    and so he will lift his head high.
