1  ^sThe Lord says to my Lord:

^t“Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2  The Lord sends forth from Zion

your mighty scepter.

^uRule in the midst of your enemies!

3  Your people will offer themselves ^vfreely

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

4  ^wThe Lord has sworn

and ^xwill not change his mind,

^y“You are a ^zpriest forever

after the order of ^aMelchizedek.”

5  The Lord is ^bat your right hand;

he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6  He will execute ^cjudgment among the nations,

filling them with corpses;

he will ^dshatter chiefs⁴

over the wide earth.

7  He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.
