1   Of David. A psalm.

  A declaration of Yahweh to my lord,

  “Sit at my right hand

  until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2   Yahweh will send out your mighty scepter from Zion;

  rule in the midst of your enemies.

3   Your people will volunteer in the day of your power.

  In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,

  you will have the dew of your youth.

4   Yahweh has sworn and he will not change his mind,

  “You are a priest forever

  according to the manner of Melchizedek.”

5   O Lord, at your right hand

  he will shatter kings in the day of his anger.

6   He will judge among the nations;

  he will fill them with corpses.

  He will shatter the rulers of many countries.

7   He will drink from the stream by the road;

  therefore he will lift up his head.
