1 This is the declaration of the Lord
to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2 The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion.
Rule over your surrounding enemies.

3 Your people will volunteer
on your day of battle.
In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,
the dew of your youth belongs to you.

4 The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“You are a priest forever
according to the pattern of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will crush kings on the day of his anger.

6 He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses;
he will crush leaders over the entire world.

7 He will drink from the brook by the road;
therefore, he will lift up his head.
