1 The lord said to my Lord,“Sit in the place of honor at my right handuntil I humble your enemies,making them a footstool under your feet.”
2 The lord will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem;you will rule over your enemies.
3 When you go to war,your people will serve you willingly.You are arrayed in holy garments,and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.
4 The lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow:“You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you.He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.
6 He will punish the nationsand fill their lands with corpses;he will shatter heads over the whole earth.
7 But he himself will be refreshed from brooks along the way.He will be victorious.
