110:1 A psalm of David.

Here is the Lord’s proclamation ²  to my lord: ³ 

“Sit down at my right hand ⁴  until I make your enemies your footstool!” ⁵ 

110:2 The Lord ⁶  extends ⁷  your dominion ⁸  from Zion.

Rule in the midst of your enemies!

110:3 Your people willingly follow you ⁹  when you go into battle. ¹⁰ 

On the holy hills ¹¹  at sunrise ¹²  the dew of your youth ¹³  belongs to you. ¹⁴ 

110:4 The Lord makes this promise on oath ¹⁵  and will not revoke it: ¹⁶ 

“You are an eternal priest ¹⁷  after the pattern of ¹⁸  Melchizedek.” ¹⁹ 

110:5 O sovereign Lord, ²⁰  at your right hand

he strikes down ²¹  kings in the day he unleashes his anger. ²² 

110:6 He executes judgment ²³  against ²⁴  the nations;

he fills the valleys with corpses; ²⁵ 

he shatters their heads over the vast battlefield. ²⁶ 

110:7 From the stream along the road he drinks;

then he lifts up his head. ²⁷
