The Lord has made a strong promise.
    He will not change it.
He has promised, ‘You will be a priest for ever,
    in the same way that Melchizedek was my priest.’[a]
The Lord is standing at your right side.
When he becomes angry,
    he will knock down kings!
He will punish the nations,
    so that dead bodies cover the ground.
He will destroy kings everywhere on the earth.

Footnotes

  1. 110:4 Melchizedek was both a king and a priest, like Jesus. See Genesis 14:18-20. Later, the Israelite priests had to be Levites, so they were not the right family to be kings. Jesus was not a Levite, but he was a priest like Melchizedek.
