Tap a verse to highlight it

1 > Yahweh says to my Lord, \"Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.\"

2 Yahweh will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.

3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.

4 Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: \"You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.\"

5 The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

6 He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.

7 He will drink of the brook in the way; Therefore he will lift up his head.
