Psalms 110

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