Psalms 110 ASV
Summary: A royal psalm of David and the most frequently quoted psalm in the New Testament, opening with God's address to the psalmist's "Lord": "Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool" (v. 1). It promises this ruler a scepter extended from Zion and describes him as arrayed "in the beauties of holiness" with troops as numerous as morning dew (v. 3), then adds a striking priestly oath: "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek" (v. 4), recalling the mysterious priest-king from Genesis. It closes picturing this figure executing judgment among the nations and drinking from a brook by the way, later widely read by Christians as messianic without that identification being made explicit in the psalm itself.
1A Psalm of David. Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3Thy people offer themselves willingly In the day of thy power, in holy array: Out of the womb of the morning Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.
5The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6He will judge among the nations, He will fill the places with dead bodies; He will strike through the head in many countries.
7He will drink of the brook in the way: Therefore will he lift up the head.
