Psalms 110
Psalm
1 Yahweh’s oracle to you, my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand and I will make your enemies a footstool for you’.
2 Yahweh will force all your enemies under the sway of your sceptre in Zion.
3 Royal dignity was yours from the day you were born, on the holy mountains, royal from the womb, from the dawn of your earliest days.
4 Yahweh has sworn an oath which he never will retract, ‘You are a priest of the order of Melchizedek, and for ever’.
5 The Lord is at your right hand. When he grows angry he shatters kings,
6 he gives the nations their deserts, smashing their skulls, he heaps the wide world with corpses.
7 Drinking from the stream as he goes, he can hold his head high in victory.
