1 A Psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Notesn1 Mat. 22. 44.
2 The Lord shall send out a rod of power for thee out of Sion : rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 With thee is dominion in the day of thy power, in the splendours of thy saints : I have begotten thee from the womb before the morning. Notesn1 Or, holiness, i. e. holy things.
4 The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.
5 The Lord at thy right hand has dashed in pieces kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill up the number of corpses, he shall crush the heads of many on the earth.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way ; therefore shall he lift up the head.
