NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 [Of David Psalm] Yahweh declared to my Lord, 'Take your seat at my right hand, til I have madeyour enemies your footstool.'1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 Yahweh will stretch out the sceptre of your power; from Zion you wil rule your foes al around you.2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Royal dignity has been yours from the day of your birth, sacred honour from the womb, from thedawn of your youth.3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 Yahweh has sworn an oath he wil never retract, you are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek.4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 At your right hand, Lord, he shatters kings when his anger breaks out.5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He judges nations, heaping up corpses, he breaks heads over the whole wide world.6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He drinks from a stream as he goes, and therefore he holds his head high.7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
