Psalm 110

Of David. A psalm.

1 The Lord saysc to my lord:a

“Sit at my right handd

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet.”e

2 The Lord will extend your mighty scepterf from Zion,g saying,

“Ruleh in the midst of your enemies!”

3 Your troops will be willing

on your day of battle.

Arrayed in holy splendor,i

your young men will come to you

like dew from the morning’s womb.b j

4 The Lord has sworn

and will not change his mind:k

“You are a priest forever,l

in the order of Melchizedek.m”

5 The Lord is at your right handc;n

he will crush kingso on the day of his wrath.p

6 He will judge the nations,q heaping up the deadr

and crushing the rulerss of the whole earth.

7 He will drink from a brook along the way,d

and so he will lift his head high.t
