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 chiefs¹

over the wide earth.

7  He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.
