Psalm 110

1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you at my right hand, until I make yours enemies your footstool.
2 The LORD shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you in the midst of yours enemies.
3 Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have the dew of your youth.
4 The LORD has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at your 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 the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
