² The Lord sends forth from Zion
    your mighty scepter.
    Rule in the midst of your foes!
³ Your people will offer themselves freely
    on the day you lead your host
    upon the holy mountains.^[b]
From the womb of the morning
    like dew your youth^[c] will come to you.
⁴ The Lord has sworn
    and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest for ever
    after the order of Melchiz′edek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand;
    he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
⁶ He will execute judgment among the nations,
    filling them with corpses;
he will shatter chiefs^[d]
    over the wide earth.
⁷ He will drink from the brook by the way;
    therefore he will lift up his head.
