Psalm 110

A Psalm of David.

The Lord (God) says to my Lord (the Messiah), Sit at My right hand, until I make Your adversaries Your footstool.(A)

The Lord will send forth from Zion the scepter of Your strength; rule, then, in the midst of Your foes.(B)

Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of holiness and in holy array out of the womb of the morning; to You [will spring forth] Your young men, who are as the dew.

The Lord has sworn and will not revoke or change it: You are a priest forever, after the manner and order of Melchizedek.(C)

The Lord at Your right hand will shatter kings in the day of His indignation.

He will execute judgment [in overwhelming punishment] upon the nations; He will fill the valleys with the dead bodies, He will crush the [chief] heads over lands many and far extended.(D)

He will drink of the brook by the way; therefore will He lift up His head [triumphantly].

    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)
