PSALM 110 - Important Confusion 20 Feb 2020

Psalm 110

1 [Of David. Psalm]
Yahweh declared to my Lord,
'Take your seat at my right hand,
till I have made your enemies your footstool.'
2 Yahweh will stretch out the sceptre of your power;
from Zion you will rule your foes all around you.
3 Royal dignity has been yours from the day of your birth,
sacred honour from the womb, from the dawn of your youth.
4 Yahweh has sworn an oath he will never retract,
you are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek.
5 At your right hand, Lord,
he shatters kings when his anger breaks out.
6 He judges nations, heaping up corpses,
he breaks heads over the whole wide world.
7 He drinks from a stream as he goes,
and therefore he holds his head high.
