1
The Lord says to my lord: 1
"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. 2
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 hand 3 ;
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, 4
and so he will lift his head high.
