1 * The Lord said to my lord,

"Sit here at my right side

until I put your enemies under your feet."

2 From Zion the Lord will extend your royal power.

"Rule over your enemies," he says.

3 On the day you fight your enemies,

your people will volunteer.

Like the dew of early morning

your young men will come to you on the sacred hills.*

4 * The Lord made a solemn promise and will not take it back:

"You will be a priest forever

in the priestly order of Melchizedek."*

5 The Lord is at your right side;

when he becomes angry, he will defeat kings.

6 He will pass judgment on the nations

and fill the battlefield with corpses;

he will defeat kings all over the earth.

7 The king will drink from the stream by the road,

and strengthened, he will stand victorious.
