1 A declaration of Yahweh to my lord,

“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.

3 Your people ⌊will volunteer⌋b in the day of your power.c

In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,

you will have the dew of your youth.d

4 Yahweh has sworn and he will not change his mind,

“You are a priest forever

according to the manner of Melchizedek.”

5 O Lord, at your right hand

he will shatter kings in the day of his anger.

6 He will judge among the nations;

he will fill them with corpses.

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.
