Psalm 110

Psalm 110

A psalm by David. 

¹The Lord said to my Lord, 

“Take the honored position—the one next to me [God the Father] on the heavenly throne 

until I put your enemies your control.”^a 

²The Lord will extend your powerful scepter from Zion. 

Rule your enemies who surround you. 

³Your people will volunteer when you call up your army. 

Your young people will come to you in holy splendor 

like dew in the early morning.^b

⁴The Lord has taken an oath and will not change his mind: 

“You are a priest forever, in the way Melchizedek was a priest.” 

⁵The Lord is at your right side. 

He will crush kings on the day of his anger. 

⁶He will pass judgment on the nations 

and fill them with dead bodies. 

Throughout the earth he will crush ⸤their⸥ heads. 

⁷He will drink from the brook along the road. 

He will hold his head high.
