Of David. A psalm.
1 The Lord says to my lord:110:1 Or 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.110:3 The meaning of the Hebrew for this sentence is uncertain.
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 hand110:5 Or My lord is at your right hand, Lord;
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,110:7 The meaning of the Hebrew for this clause is uncertain.
and so he will lift his head high.
