Psalm 110

Psalm 110 – A Promise of Victory to the King

Of David, a psalm.

1This said the Lord concerning my lord,

“Sit at my right hand,

till I set your foot on the neck of your foes.”

2On Zion the Lord is wielding

your sceptre of might, and charges you

to rule over the foes that surround you.

3The day that you march to battle

your people will follow you gladly

young warriors in holy array,

like dew-drops, born of the morning.

4The Lord has sworn and will not repent,

“As for you, you are priest for ever

as Melchizedek was.”

5By your side will the Lord shatter kings

on the day of his wrath.

6He will execute judgment

filling the valleys with dead,

the broad fields with shattered heads.

7He will drink of the brook by the way,

and march onward with uplifted head.
