Psalm 110

Common English Bible

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!”

²May the Lord make your mighty scepter
    reach far from Zion!
    Rule over your enemies!
³Your 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.”
⁴The Lord has sworn a solemn pledge and won’t change his mind:
    “You are a priest forever in line with Melchizedek.”^[b]
⁵My master, by your strong hand,
    God has crushed kings on his day of wrath.^[c]

⁶God brings the nations to justice,
piling the dead bodies, crushing heads throughout the earth.
⁷God drinks from a stream along the way,
then holds his head up high.^[d]
