1 The LORD said to my Lord:
“Sit here at my right hand,
until I make your foes a stool
on which your feet may stand.”
2 The LORD will make your reign
extend from Zion’s hill;
with royal power you’ll rule among
those who oppose your will.
3 When you display your power,
your people flock to you;
at dawn, arrayed in holiness,
your youth will come like dew.
4 Unchangeably the LORD
with solemn purpose swore:
“Just like Melchizedek you are
a priest for evermore.”
5 The Lord at your right hand
will crush all who defy;
6 the nations he will judge;
in mourning they will cry.
7 A brook beside the way
his thirst will satisfy;
and, thus refreshed, he will with joy
lift up his head on high.
