Sit at My Right Hand
A Psalm of David.
110 (A)The Lord says to my Lord:
(B)“Sit at my right hand,
(C)until I make your enemies your (D)footstool.”
2 The Lord sends forth (E)from Zion
(F)your mighty sceptre.
(G)Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3 (H)Your people will (I)offer themselves freely
on the day of your (J)power,[a]
in (K)holy garments;[b]
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.[c]
4 (L)The Lord has (M)sworn
and will (N)not change his mind,
(O)“You are (P)a priest (Q)for ever
after the order of (R)Melchizedek.”
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were (A)inscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron (B)pen and lead
they were engraved in the rock for ever!
25 For I (C)know that my (D)Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the (E)earth.[a]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in[b] my flesh I shall (F)see God,
27 whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not (G)another.
My heart (H)faints within me!
