The Lord Appoints a King

A song of David.

110 The Lord said to my Master,
“Sit by me at my right side
    until I put your enemies under your control.”
The Lord will make you king in Jerusalem over all nations.
    And you will rule your enemies in their own countries.
Your people will join you on the day you come to power.
    You have been dressed in holiness from birth.
    You have the freshness of a child.

Psalm 110

Of David. A psalm.

The Lord says(A) to my lord:[a]

“Sit at my right hand(B)
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet.”(C)

The Lord will extend your mighty scepter(D) from Zion,(E) saying,
    “Rule(F) in the midst of your enemies!”
Your troops will be willing
    on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,(G)
    your young men will come to you
    like dew from the morning’s womb.[b](H)
