1 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)

2 The Lord will extend your mighty scepter(D) from Zion,(E) saying,
“Rule(F) in the midst of your enemies!”
3 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)

4 The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:(I)
“You are a priest forever,(J)
in the order of Melchizedek.(K)

and crushing the rulers(Q) of the whole earth.
7 He will drink from a brook along the way,[d]
and so he will lift his head high.(R)
