The LORD Gives Dominion to the King.

A Psalm of David.

1The LORD says to my Lord:

“Sit at My right hand

Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

2The LORD will stretch out Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,

“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

3Your people [a]will volunteer freely on the day of Your [b]power;

In [c]holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,

[d]Your youth are to You as the dew.

4The LORD has sworn and will not [e]change His mind,

“You are a priest forever

According to the order of Melchizedek.”

5The Lord is at Your right hand;

He [f]will shatter kings in the day of His wrath.

6He will judge among the nations,

He [g]will fill them with corpses,

He [h]will shatter the [i]chief men over a broad country.

7He will drink from the brook by the wayside;

Therefore He will lift up His head.
