The Lord Gives Dominion to the King.

¹The Lord (Father) says to my Lord (the Messiah, His Son),

“Sit at My right hand

Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet [subjugating them into complete submission].” [Josh 10:24; Matt 26:64; Acts 2:34; 1 Cor 15:25; Col 3:1; Heb 12:2]

²The Lord will send the scepter of Your strength from Zion, saying,

“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.” [Rom 11:26, 27]

³Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the day of Your power;

In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,

Your young men are to You as the dew.

⁴¶The Lord has sworn [an oath] and will not change His mind:

“You are a priest forever

According to the order of Melchizedek.” [Heb 5:10; 7:11, 15, 21]

⁵The Lord is at Your right hand,

He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

⁶He will execute judgment [in overwhelming punishment] among the nations;

He will fill them with corpses,

He will crush the chief men over a broad country. [Ezek 38:21, 22; 39:11, 12]

⁷He will drink from the brook by the wayside;

Therefore He will lift up His head [triumphantly].
