2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, "Rule in the midst of your enemies!"

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.
