Psalm 110

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord says to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand

until I put your enemies

under your control.”

2 The Lord will make your royal authority spread out from Zion to other lands.

You will rule over your enemies who are all around you.

3 Your troops will be willing to fight for you

on the day of battle.

You will be wrapped in holy majesty.

Just as the dew falls fresh early in the morning,

you will always be young and strong.

4 The Lord has taken an oath and made a promise.

He will not change his mind.

He has said, “You are a priest forever,

just like Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at your right hand.

He will crush kings on the day when he is angry.

6 He will judge the nations. He will pile up dead bodies on the field of battle.

He will crush the rulers of the whole earth.

7 He will drink from a brook along the way and receive new strength.

And so he will win the battle.
