Psalms 110

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord said to my Lord,*110:1 Or my lord.

"Sit in the place of honor at my right hand

until I humble your enemies,

making them a footstool under your feet."

2 The Lord will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem*110:2 Hebrew Zion.;

you will rule over your enemies.

3 When you go to war,

your people will serve you willingly.

You are arrayed in holy garments,

and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.

4 The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow:

"You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

5 The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you.

He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.

6 He will punish the nations

and fill their lands with corpses;

he will shatter heads over the whole earth.

7 But he himself will be refreshed from brooks along the way.

He will be victorious.
