A psalm of David.
110:1 Here is the Lord’s proclamation 2 to my lord: 3
“Sit down at my right hand 4 until I make your enemies your footstool!” 5
110:2 The Lord 6 extends 7 your dominion 8 from Zion.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
110:3 Your people willingly follow you 9 when you go into battle. 10
On the holy hills 11 at sunrise 12 the dew of your youth 13 belongs to you. 14
110:4 The Lord makes this promise on oath 15 and will not revoke it: 16
“You are an eternal priest 17 after the pattern of 18 Melchizedek.” 19
110:5 O sovereign Lord, 20 at your right hand
he strikes down 21 kings in the day he unleashes his anger. 22
110:6 He executes judgment 23 against 24 the nations;
he fills the valleys with corpses; 25
he shatters their heads over the vast battlefield. 26
110:7 From the stream along the road he drinks;
then he lifts up his head. 27
