Psalm 110

Assurance of Victory for God’s Priest-King

Of David. A Psalm.
¹The Lord says to my lord,
   ‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.’

²The Lord sends out from Zion
   your mighty sceptre.
   Rule in the midst of your foes.
³Your people will offer themselves willingly
   on the day you lead your forces
   on the holy mountains.^*
From the womb of the morning,
   like dew, your youth^* will come to you.
⁴The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,
   ‘You are a priest for ever according to the order of Melchizedek.’^*

⁵The Lord is at your right hand;
   he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
⁶He will execute judgement among the nations,
   filling them with corpses;
he will shatter heads
   over the wide earth.
⁷He will drink from the stream by the path;
   therefore he will lift up his head.
