1[A Psalm by David.] The LORD says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

2The LORD will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.

3Your people offer themselves willingly on the day of your power. On the holy mountains at sunrise the dew of your youth will be yours.

4The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

5The LORD is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

6He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will shatter the head throughout a vast territory.

7He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore he will lift up his head.
