Psalm 110–112

PSALM 110

The Lord Gives Dominion to the King.

A Psalm of David.

^1aThe Lord says to my Lord:

“^bSit at My right hand

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

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

“^bRule in the midst of Your enemies.”

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

^bIn ³holy array, from the womb of the dawn,

⁴Your youth are to You as the ^cdew.

^4aThe Lord 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 ^bshatter kings in the ^cday of His wrath.

⁶He will ^ajudge among the nations,

He ¹will fill them with ^bcorpses,

He ²will ^cshatter the ³chief men over a broad country.

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

Therefore He will ^blift up His head.
