1THE LORD (God) says to my Lord (the Messiah), Sit at My right hand, until I make Your adversaries Your footstool.
2The Lord will send forth from Zion the scepter of Your strength; rule, then, in the midst of Your foes.
3Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of holiness {and} in holy array out of the womb of the morning; to You [will spring forth] Your young men, who are as the dew.
4The Lord has sworn and will not revoke {or} change it: You are a priest forever, after the manner {and} order of Melchizedek.
5The Lord at Your right hand will shatter kings in the day of His indignation.
6He will execute judgment [in overwhelming punishment] upon the nations; He will fill the valleys with the dead bodies, He will crush the [chief] heads over lands many {and} far extended.
7He will drink of the brook by the way; therefore will He lift up His head [triumphantly].
