Psalms 110

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN 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 A psalm of David. The LORD says to you, my lord: "Take your throne at my righthand, while I make your enemies your footstool."
2 Yahweh will stretch out the sceptre of your power; from Zion you wil rule your foes al around you.	2 The scepter of your sovereign might the LORD will extend from Zion. The LORD says: "Rule over your enemies!
3 Royal dignity has been yours from the day of your birth, sacred honour from the womb, from thedawn of your youth.	3 Yours is princely power from the day of your birth. In holy splendor before the daystar, like the dew I begot you."
4 Yahweh has sworn an oath he wil never retract, you are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek.	4 The LORD has sworn and will not waver: "Like Melchizedek you are a priest forever."
5 At your right hand, Lord, he shatters kings when his anger breaks out.	5 At your right hand is the Lord, who crushes kings on the day of wrath,
6 He judges nations, heaping up corpses, he breaks heads over the whole wide world.	6 Who, robed in splendor, judges nations, crushes heads across the wide earth,
7 He drinks from a stream as he goes, and therefore he holds his head high.	7 Who drinks from the brook by the wayside and thus holds high the head.
