International Standard Version

Psalm 110

1 A declaration from the LORD a to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2 When the LORD extends your mighty scepter from Zion, rule in the midst of your enemies.

3 Your soldiers b are willing volunteers on your day of battle; in majestic holiness, from the womb, from the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you.

4 The LORD took an oath and will never recant: “You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will utterly destroy kings in the time of his wrath.

6 He will execute judgment against the nations, filling graves c with corpses. He will utterly destroy leaders far and wide.

7 He will drink from a stream on the way, then hold his head high.
