Psalms

A Psalm of David.

1The LORD said to my Lord:“Sit at My right handuntil I make Your enemiesa footstool for Your feet.”

2The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion:“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

3Your people shall be willingon Your day of battle.Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

4The LORD has swornand will not change His mind:“You are a priest foreverin the order of Melchizedek.”

5The Lord is at Your right hand;He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

6He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead;He will crush the leaders far and wide.

7He will drink from the brook by the road;therefore He will lift up His head.

A Psalm of David.

1The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

4The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

5The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
