1 A psalm of David. The LORD says to you, my lord: "Take your throne at my righthand, while I make your enemies your footstool."
2 The scepter of your sovereign might the LORD will extend from Zion. The LORD says: "Rule over your enemies!
3 Yours is princely power from the day of your birth. In holy splendor before the daystar, like the dew I begot you."
4 The LORD has sworn and will not waver: "Like Melchizedek you are a priest forever."
5 At your right hand is the Lord, who crushes kings on the day of wrath,
6 Who, robed in splendor, judges nations, crushes heads across the wide earth,
7 Who drinks from the brook by the wayside and thus holds high the head.
