You Are a Priest Forever

¹Yahweh says to my Lord:

“Sit at My right hand

Until I put Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”

²Yahweh will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying ,

“Have dominion in the midst of Your enemies.”

³Your people will offer themselves freely in the day of Your power;[#110:3 Lit will be freewill offerings; #110:3 Or army]

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

The dew of Your youthfulness will be Yours.

⁴¶Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind,[#110:4 Lit be sorry]

“You are a priest forever

According to the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is at Your right hand;

He will crush kings in the day of His anger.

⁶He will render justice among the nations,

He will fill them with corpses,

He will crush the head that is over the wide earth.

⁷He will drink from the brook by the wayside;

Therefore He will lift up His head.
