Psalm 110
The Priestly King
A Davidic psalm.
1 This is the declaration of the Lord
to my Lord:
“Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
2 The Lord will extend Your mighty scepter from Zion.
Rule[a] over Your surrounding[b] enemies.
3 Your people will volunteer
on Your day of battle.[c]
In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,
the dew of Your youth belongs to You.[d]
4 The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“Forever, You are a priest
like Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at Your right hand;
He will crush kings on the day of His anger.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses;
He will crush leaders over the entire world.
7 He will drink from the brook by the road;
therefore, He will lift up His head.
