Psalm 110

Yahweh Gives Authority to His Messiah

110Of David. A psalm.^a

¹A declaration of Yahweh to my lord,

“Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies your footstool.”

²Yahweh will send out your mighty scepter from Zion;

rule in the midst of your enemies.

³Your 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

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

“You are a priest forever

according to the manner of Melchizedek.”

⁵O Lord, at your right hand

he will shatter kings in the day of his anger.

⁶He will judge among the nations;

he will fill them with corpses.

He will shatter the rulers^e of many countries.

⁷He will drink from the stream by the road;

therefore he will lift up his head.
