Psalms 110 YLT
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. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'
2The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.
3Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou art a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'
5The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.
6He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.
7From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!
