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

Of David. A psalm.

110 What the Lord says to my master:
“Sit right beside me
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet!”

May the Lord make your mighty scepter
    reach far from Zion!
    Rule over your enemies!
Your people stand ready
    on your day of battle.
    “In holy grandeur, from the dawn’s womb, fight![a]
        Your youthful strength is like the dew itself.”
The Lord has sworn a solemn pledge and won’t change his mind:
    “You are a priest forever in line with Melchizedek.”[b]
My master, by your strong hand,
    God has crushed kings on his day of wrath.[c]

God brings the nations to justice,
    piling the dead bodies, crushing heads throughout the earth.
God drinks from a stream along the way,
    then holds his head up high.[d]
