Psalm 110

Bible passage (Revised Standard Version)

A Psalm of David.

110 The Lord says to my lord:

“Sit at my right hand,

till I make your enemies your footstool.”

2The Lord sends forth from Zion

your mighty scepter.

Rule in the midst of your foes!

3Your people will offer themselves freely

on the day you lead your host

upon the holy mountains.

From the womb of the morning

like dew your youth will come to you.

4The Lord has sworn

and will not change his mind,

“You are a priest for ever

after the order of Melchizʹedek.”

5The Lord is at your right hand;

he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6He will execute judgment among the nations,

filling them with corpses;

he will shatter chiefs

over the wide earth.

7He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.
