Psalm 110
Assurance of Victory for God’s Priest-King
Of David. A Psalm.
1 The Lord says to my lord,
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.”(A)
2 The Lord sends out from Zion
your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your foes.(B)
3 Your people will offer themselves willingly
on the day you lead your forces
on the holy mountains.[a]
From the womb of the morning,
like dew, your youth[b] will come to you.(C)
4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”[c](D)
5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.(E)
6 He will execute judgment among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter heads
over the wide earth.(F)
7 He will drink from the stream by the path;
therefore he will lift up his head.(G)
