Psalm 110
Dixit Dominus
1
The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool."
2
The LORD will send the scepter of your power out of Zion,
saying, "Rule over your enemies round about you.
3
Princely state has been yours from the day of your birth;
in the beauty of holiness have I begotten you, like dew from the womb of the morning."
4
The LORD has sworn and he will not recant:
"You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."
5
The Lord who is at your right hand will smite kings in the day of his wrath;
he will rule over the nations.
6
He will heap high the corpses;
he will smash heads over the wide earth.
7
He will drink from the brook beside the road;
therefore he will lift high his head.
