1  A Psalm of David. YHWH saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

1  THE LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2  The rod of Thy strength YHWH will send out of Zion: 'Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.'

2  The Lord shall send out a rod of power for thee out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3  Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy warfare; in adornments of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, thine is the dew of thy youth.

3  With thee is dominion in the day of thy power, in the splendours of thy saints: I have begotten thee from the womb before the morning.

3  It is with you from the beginning, in the day of your virtue, in the splendor of the saints. From conception, before the light-bearer, I begot you.

4  YHWH hath sworn, and will not repent: 'Thou art a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek.'

4  The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.

5  YHWH at thy right hand doth crush kings in the day of His wrath.

5  The Lord at thy right hand has dashed in pieces kings in the day of his wrath.

6  He will judge among the nations; He filleth it with dead bodies, He crusheth the head over a wide land.

6  He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill up the number of corpses, he shall crush the heads of many on the earth.

6  He will judge between the nations; he will fill up ruination. He will shatter heads in the land of the many.

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