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 chiefs [4]
over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
