A Davidic psalm

A Priestly Ruler

110 A declaration from the Lord[a] to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand
        until I make your enemies your footstool.”

When the Lord extends your mighty scepter from Zion,
    rule in the midst of your enemies.
Your soldiers[b] are willing volunteers on your day of battle;
    in majestic holiness, from the womb,
        from the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you.
