A Psalm of David

1 "The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool,

2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3 Thy people shall be, willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

4 The Lord hath sworn and will not repent, thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with dead bodies; he shall wound the head over many countries.

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