Psalm 110 - Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Assurance of Victory for God’s Priest-King

A Psalm of David.

110 The Lord says to my lord:
“Sit at my right hand,
till I make your enemies your footstool.”

2 The Lord sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your foes!
3 Your people will offer themselves freely
on the day you lead your host
upon the holy mountains.[a]
From the womb of the morning
like dew your youth[b] will come to you.
4 The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest for ever
after the order of Melchiz′edek.”

5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will execute judgment among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter chiefs[c]
over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
