1 A psalm of David. This is the declaration of the LORD to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion. Rule over your surrounding enemies.
3 Your people will volunteer on your day of battle. In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you.
4 The LORD has sworn an oath and will not take it back: “You are a priest forever according to the pattern of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his anger.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses; he will crush leaders over the entire world.
7 He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore, he will lift up his head.
