Psalms Chapter 110 (ROTHERHAM)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 The declaration of Yahweh to my Lord—Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

2 Thy sceptre of strength, will Yahweh extend out of Zion, Tread thou down, in the midst of thy foes.

3 Thy people, will freely offer themselves, in the day of thine army,—in the splendours of holiness, out of the womb of the dawn, To thee, [shall spring forth] the dew of thy youth.

4 Yahweh, hath sworn—and will not repent, Thou, [shalt be] a priest unto times age-abiding, after the manner of Melchizedek.

5 My Lord, on thy right hand,—hath shattered—in the day of his anger—kings;

6 He will judge among the nations—full of dead bodies! He hath shattered the head over a land far extended:

7 Of the torrent in the way, will he drink;—For this cause, will he lift up [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.
