Psalm 110

Psalm 110 (English Standard Version)

Sit at My Right Hand
A Psalm of David.
 1(A) The LORD says to my Lord:
   (B) "Sit at my right hand,
(C) until I make your enemies your(D) footstool." 2The LORD sends forth(E) from Zion
   (F) your mighty scepter.
   (G) Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3(H) Your people will(I) offer themselves freely
   on the day of your(J) power,[a]
   in(K) holy garments;[b]
from the womb of the morning,
   the dew of your youth will be yours.[c]
4(L) The LORD has(M) sworn
   and will(N) not change his mind,
(O) "You are(P) a priest(Q) forever
   after the order of(R) Melchizedek."
 5The Lord is at your(S) right hand;
   he will(T) shatter kings on(U) the day of his wrath.
6He will(V) execute judgment among the nations,
   (W) filling them with corpses;
he will(X) shatter chiefs[d]
   over the wide earth.
7He will(Y) drink from the brook by the way;
   therefore he will lift up his head.
