Psalms 110

The LORD and his Chosen King

1The LORD said to my lord,

“Sit here at my right

until I put your enemies under your feet.”

2From Zion the LORD will extend your royal power.

“Rule over your enemies,” he says.

3On the day you fight your enemies,

your people will volunteer.

Like the dew of early morning

your young men will come to you on the sacred hills.

5The Lord is at your right side;

when he becomes angry, he will defeat kings.

6He will pass judgement on the nations

and fill the battlefield with corpses;

he will defeat kings all over the earth.

7The king will drink from the stream by the road,

and strengthened, he will stand victorious.
