Psalm 110:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 At your right hand is the Lord,
who crushes kings on the day of his wrath,(A)
6 Who judges nations, heaps up corpses,
crushes heads across the wide earth,
7 [a]Who drinks from the brook by the wayside
and thus holds high his head.(B)
Footnotes
- 110:7 Who drinks from the brook by the wayside: the meaning is uncertain. Some see an allusion to a rite of royal consecration at the Gihon spring (cf. 1 Kgs 1:33, 38). Others find here an image of the divine warrior (or king) pursuing enemies so relentlessly that he does not stop long enough to eat and drink.
