Psalms 110

Sit at My Right Hand

A Psalm of David.

110:1   The LORD says to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand,
  until I make your enemies your footstool.”


2   The LORD sends forth from Zion
    your mighty scepter.
    Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3   Your people will offer themselves freely
    on the day of your power,¹
    in holy garments;²
  from the womb of the morning,
    the dew of your youth will be yours.³
4   The LORD has sworn
    and will not change his mind,
  “You are a priest forever
    after the order of Melchizedek.”


5   The Lord is at your right hand;
    he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6   He will execute judgment among the nations,
    filling them with corpses;
  he will shatter chiefs⁴
    over the wide earth.
7   He will drink from the brook by the way;
    therefore he will lift up his head.
