1A declaration from the LORD to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool." | 1The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.” |
2When the LORD extends your mighty scepter from Zion, rule in the midst of your enemies. | 2The LORD will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem ; you will rule over your enemies. |
3Your soldiers are willing volunteers on your day of battle; in majestic holiness, from the womb, from the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you. | 3When you go to war, your people will serve you willingly. You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew. |
4The LORD took an oath and will never recant: "You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek." | 4The LORD has taken an oath and will not break his vow: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” |
5The Lord is at your right hand; he will utterly destroy kings in the time of his wrath. | 5The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you. He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts. |
6He will execute judgment against the nations, filling graves with corpses. He will utterly destroy leaders far and wide. | 6He will punish the nations and fill their lands with corpses; he will shatter heads over the whole earth. |
7He will drink from a stream on the way, then hold his head high. | 7But he himself will be refreshed from brooks along the way. He will be victorious. |
