1 A Psalme of David. The Lord said vnto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.

2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion: be thou ruler in the middes of thine enemies.

3 Thy people shall come willingly at the time of assembling thine armie in holy beautie: the youth of thy wombe shalbe as the morning dewe.

4 The Lord sware and wil not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer after ye order of Melchi-zedek.

6 He shalbe iudge among the heathen: he shall fill all with dead bodies, and smite the head ouer great countreis.

7 He shall drinke of the brooke in the way: therefore shall he lift vp his head.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Psalm 110 known for?
It's a short messianic psalm in which the LORD tells "my Lord" to sit at his right hand until his enemies become his footstool (v.1), and declares him "a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek" (v.4).
Who is Melchizedek, referenced in verse 4?
The text itself doesn't explain who Melchizedek was; v.4 simply quotes God's oath that this figure holds a permanent priesthood. The New Testament later applies this verse to Christ, as in Hebrews 10:12-13.
What happens in the psalm's closing verses?
Verses 5-7 picture the Lord's right hand striking down kings in the day of wrath and judging among the nations, ending with him drinking "of the brook in the way" before lifting up his head.
