The First Decree of the Lord
1 The decree of the Lord to my lord: [1]
“Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies
a footstool under your feet.”
Description of King Messiah’s Rule
2 The Lord will stretch out your strong scepter from Zion.
Rule in the midst of your enemies.
3 Your people will be willing on the day of your power.
In majesty of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
the dew of your youth will be yours. [2]

“You are a priest forever, in the manner of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at your right hand.
He will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

He will fill valleys with corpses. [3]
He will crush heads over the wide world. [4]
7 He will drink from a stream beside the way;
therefore, he will lift up his head.
Footnotes
- Psalm 110:1 The second lord in verse 1 is not one of the divine names that are usually rendered Lord or Lord. It is the common noun for lord. It does refer to Christ but as a description, not a title.
- Psalm 110:3 Verse 3 is cryptic. The translation is quite literal.
- Psalm 110:6 The translation combines the Hebrew and Greek variants.
- Psalm 110:6 Or crush the head of the wide world
