The LORD Gives Dominion to the King.

A Psalm of David.

1 The LORD says to my Lord:
          “Sit at My right hand
          Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

2 The LORD will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,
          “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

3 Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power;
          In holy array, from the womb of the dawn,
          Your youth are to You as the dew.

4 The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind,
          “You are a priest forever
          According to the order of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at Your right hand;
          He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath.

6 He will judge among the nations,
          He will fill them with corpses,
          He will shatter the chief men over a broad country.

7 He will drink from the brook by the wayside;
          Therefore He will lift up His head.
