1 יהוה said unto my Master, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2 יהוה shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

4 יהוה hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

5 יהוה at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the 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.
