A praise song of David.

110 The Lord said to my lord,[a]
    “Sit at my right side, while I put your enemies under your control.”

The Lord will cause your kingdom to grow, beginning at Zion,
    until you rule the lands of your enemies!
Your people will gladly join you
    when you gather your army together.
You will wear your special clothes
    and meet together early in the morning.
Your young men will be all around you
    like dew on the ground.[b]
