(Psalm 110)
The Lord said to my lord, the king,
“Sit here at my right side
until I put your enemies under your feet.”
From Zion the Lord will extend your royal power.
“Rule over your enemies,” he says.
On the day you fight your enemies,
your people will volunteer.
Like the dew of early morning
your young men will come to you
on the sacred hills.
The Lord made a solemn promise and will not
take it back:
“You will be a priest forever
in the priestly order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord is at your right side;
when he becomes angry, he will defeat kings.
He will pass judgment on the nations
and fill the battlefield with corpses;
he will defeat kings all over the earth.
The king will drink from the stream by the road,
and strengthened, he will stand victorious.
