“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 Yahweh will send out your mighty scepter from Zion;
rule in the midst of your enemies.

you will have the dew of your youth.d

“You are a priest forever
according to the manner of Melchizedek.”
he will shatter kings in the day of his anger.

He will shatter the ⌊rulers⌋e of many countries.
7 He will drink from the stream by the road;
therefore he will lift up his head.
