Psalms 110
The AIT Bible
The Enthroned King and Priest
1Of David. A psalm. The declaration of Yahweh to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
2Yahweh will extend the scepter of your strength from Zion: rule in the midst of your enemies.
3Your people offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy splendor; from the womb of the dawn, yours is the dew of your youth.
4Yahweh has sworn and will not relent: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.”
5The Lord is at your right hand; he shatters kings on the day of his wrath.
6He will judge among the nations, filling them with corpses; he shatters the head over a broad land.
7From a stream by the way he will drink; therefore he will lift up his head.
