Psalm 110:1-7
Of David. A melody.
110 The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord* is:+“Sit at my right hand+Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”+
2 The rod+ of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion,+ [saying:]“Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.”+
3 Your people+ will offer themselves willingly*+ on the day of your military force.+In the splendors of holiness,+ from the womb of the dawn,*You have your company of young men just like dewdrops.*+
4 Jehovah has sworn+ (and he will feel no regret):+“You are a priest to time indefinite+According to the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek!”+
5 Jehovah* himself at your right hand+Will certainly break kings to pieces on the day of his anger.+
6 He will execute judgment among the nations;+He will cause a fullness of dead bodies.+He will certainly break to pieces the head one over a populous land.+
7 From the torrent valley in the way he will drink.+That is why he will raise high [his] head.*+
