Psalm 110:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 When you go to fight your enemies,
your people will be happy to fight beside you.
As the sun rises on the day of battle,
your young men will be there,
on the hills round Zion.[a]
4 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.’[b]
5 The Lord is standing at your right side.
When he becomes angry,
he will knock down kings!
Footnotes
- 110:3 This verse is difficult to understand in the Hebrew language.
- 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.
Psalm 110:3-5
New International Version

your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb.[a](B)
