Psalm 110–112

PSALM 110

You Are a Priest Forever

Of David. A Psalm.

^1aYahweh says to my Lord:

“^bSit at My right hand

Until I put ^cYour enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”

²Yahweh will stretch forth Your strong ^ascepter from Zion, saying,

“^bHave dominion in the midst of Your enemies.”

³Your ^apeople ¹will offer themselves freely in the day of Your ²power;

^bIn the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,

The ^cdew of Your youthfulness will be Yours.

^4aYahweh has sworn and will ^bnot ¹change His mind,

“You are a ^cpriest forever

According to the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is ^aat Your right hand;

He ¹will ^bcrush kings in the ^cday of His anger.

⁶He will ^arender justice among the nations,

He ¹will fill them with ^bcorpses,

He ²will ^ccrush the ³head that is over the wide earth.

⁷He will ^adrink from the brook by the wayside;

Therefore He will ^blift up His head.
