Psalms

Psalm 110:1–4

¹A Psalm of David.

The LORD said to my Lord:

“Sit at My right hand

until I make Your enemies

a footstool for Your feet.”^a

²The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion:

“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

³Your people shall be willing

on Your day of battle.

Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,

to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

⁴The LORD has sworn

and will not change His mind:

“You are a priest forever

in the order of Melchizedek.”^b
