Psalms 110

   |   

(A psalm by David.)

The Lord Gives Victory

1 The Lord said to my Lord,
    "Sit at my right side,[a]
    until I make your enemies
    into a footstool for you."

2 The Lord will let your power
    reach out from Zion,
    and you will rule
    over your enemies.
3 Your glorious power
will be seen
    on the day
    you begin to rule.
You will wear the sacred robes
    and shine like the morning sun
    in all of your strength.[b]
4 The Lord has made a promise
    that will never be broken:
"You will be a priest forever,
    just like Melchizedek."

5 My Lord is at your right side,
    and when he gets angry
he will crush
    the other kings.
6 He will judge the nations
    and crack their skulls,
    leaving piles of dead bodies
    all over the earth.
7 He will drink from any stream
that he chooses,
    while winning
    victory after victory.[c]
