1 The Lord says to my lord:‘Sit at my right handuntil I make your enemiesa footstool for your feet.’
2 The Lord will extend your mighty sceptre from Zion, saying,‘Rule in the midst of your enemies!’
3 Your troops will be willingon your day of battle.Arrayed in holy splendour,your young men will come to youlike dew from the morning’s womb.
4 The Lord has swornand will not change his mind:‘You are a priest for ever,in the order of Melchizedek.’
5 The Lord is at your right hand;he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge nations, heaping up the deadand crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
7 He will drink from a brook along the way;and so he will lift his head high.
