Psalm 110

New International Reader’s Version



1 The LORD says to my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control.’ 2 The LORD will make your royal authority spread out from Zion to other lands. He says, ‘Rule over your enemies who are all around you.’ 3 Your troops will be willing to fight for you on the day of battle. Your young men will be wrapped in holy majesty. They will come to you like the fresh dew that falls early in the morning. 4 The LORD has made a promise. He will not change his mind. He has said, ‘You are a priest for ever, just like Melchizedek.’ 5 The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings on the day when he is angry. 6 He will judge the nations. He will pile up dead bodies on the field of battle. He will crush the rulers of the whole earth. 7 He will drink from a brook along the way and receive new strength. And so he will win the battle.

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.” (Jos 10:24; Ps 8:6; Ps 18:38; Mt 22:44; Mt 26:64; Mr 12:36; Lu 20:42; Ac 2:34; 1Co 15:25; Eph 1:20; Eph 1:22; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3; Heb 1:13; Heb 2:8; Heb 8:1; Heb 10:12; Heb 10:13; Heb 12:2; 1Pe 3:22) 2 The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies! (Ps 45:6; Ps 68:35; Ps 72:8; Jer 48:17; Eze 19:14; Da 7:13) 3 Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power,[1] in holy garments;[2] from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours.[3] (Ex 35:29; Jud 5:2; 1Ch 16:29; Ne 11:2; Isa 13:3; Re 19:14) 4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” (Ge 14:18; Nu 23:19; Ps 132:11; Zec 6:13; Joh 12:34; Heb 5:6; Heb 6:17; Heb 6:20; Heb 7:17; Heb 7:21; Heb 7:24; Heb 7:28) 5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. (Ps 2:5; Ps 2:12; Ps 16:8; Ps 68:14; Ro 2:5; Re 6:17) 6 He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs[4] over the wide earth. (Ps 68:21; Isa 2:4; Eze 39:17; Joe 3:12; Mic 4:3; Re 19:17) 7 He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. (Jud 7:5)
