Psalms 110 WEB
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.
1Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”
2Yahweh will send out the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule among your enemies.
3Your 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.
4Yahweh 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 crush the ruler of the whole earth.
7He will drink of the brook on the way; therefore he will lift up his head.
