A Psalm of David.

   The LORD says to my Lord:
       “Sit at my right hand,
   until I make your enemies your footstool.”


   The LORD sends forth from Zion
       your mighty scepter.
       Rule in the midst of your enemies!
   Your people will offer themselves freely
       on the day of your power,
       in holy garments;
   from the womb of the morning,
       the dew of your youth will be yours.
   The LORD has sworn
       and will not change his mind,
   “You are a priest forever
       after the order of Melchizedek.”


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