1 The Lord says to my lord:*

"Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet."

2 The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,

"Rule in the midst of your enemies!"

3 Your troops will be willing

on your day of battle.

Arrayed in holy splendor,

your young men will come to you

like dew from the morning’s womb.*

4 The Lord has sworn

and will not change his mind:

"You are a priest forever,

in the order of Melchizedek."

5 The Lord is at your right hand*;

he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead

and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

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

and so he will lift his head high.
