Psalm 110 - New International Version - UK (NIVUK)

Psalm 110

Of David. A psalm.

1 The Lord says to my lord:[a]

‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.’

2 The Lord will extend your mighty sceptre from Zion, saying,
‘Rule in the midst of your enemies!’
3 Your troops will be willing
on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendour,
your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb.[b]

4 The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
‘You are a priest for ever,
in the order of Melchizedek.’

5 The Lord is at your right hand[c];
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
7 He will drink from a brook along the way;[d]
and so he will lift his head high.
