1Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." | 1A psalm of David. Here is the LORD's proclamation to my lord: "Sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool!" |
2The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, "Rule in the midst of your enemies!" | 2The LORD extends your dominion from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies! |
3Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning's womb. | 3Your people willingly follow you when you go into battle. On the holy hills at sunrise the dew of your youth belongs to you. |
4The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." | 4The LORD makes this promise on oath and will not revoke it: "You are an eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek." |
5The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. | 5O sovereign LORD, at your right hand he strikes down kings in the day he unleashes his anger. |
6He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. | 6He executes judgment against the nations; he fills the valleys with corpses; he shatters their heads over the vast battlefield. |
7He will drink from a brook along the way, and so he will lift his head high. | 7From the stream along the road he drinks; then he lifts up his head. |
