Psalm 110: Dixit Dominus

The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, *

until I make your enemies your footstool."

The LORD will send the scepter of your power out of Zion, *

saying, "Rule over your enemies round about you.

Princely state has been yours from the day of your birth; *

in the beauty of holiness have I begotten you,

like dew from the womb of the morning."

The LORD has sworn and he will not recant: *

"You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."

The Lord who is at your right hand

will smite kings in the day of his wrath; *

he will rule over the nations.

He will heap high the corpses; *

he will smash heads over the wide earth.

He will drink from the brook beside the road; *

therefore he will lift high his head.
