1 What the Lord says to my master:"Sit right beside meuntil I make your enemiesa footstool for your feet!"
2 May the Lord make your mighty scepterreach far from Zion!Rule over your enemies!
3 Your people stand readyon your day of battle."In holy grandeur, from the dawn’s womb, fight!Your youthful strength is like the dew itself."
4 The Lord has sworn a solemn pledge and won’t change his mind:"You are a priest forever in line with Melchizedek."
5 My master, by your strong hand,God has crushed kings on his day of wrath.
6 God brings the nations to justice,piling the dead bodies, crushing heads throughout the earth.
