A Psalm by David.

1 The LORD says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet."

2 The LORD will send out the rod of your strength out of Zion.

Rule among your enemies.

3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array.

Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.

4 The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind:

"You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

5 The Lord is at your right hand.

He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

6 He will judge among the nations.

He will heap up dead bodies.

He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.

7 He will drink of the brook on the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.
