0. A Psalm of David.

1. [Of David Psalm] Yahweh declared to my Lord, 'Take your seat at my right hand, till I have made your enemies your footstool.'

1. The LORD says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool."

2. Yahweh will stretch out the sceptre of your power; from Zion you will rule your foes all around you.

2. The LORD sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your foes!

3. Royal dignity has been yours from the day of your birth, sacred honour from the womb, from the dawn of your youth.

3. Your people will offer themselves freely on the day you lead your host upon the holy mountains. From the womb of the morning like dew your youth will come to you.

4. Yahweh has sworn an oath he will never retract, you are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek.

4. The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, "You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchiz'edek."

5. At your right hand, Lord, he shatters kings when his anger breaks out.

5. The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6. He judges nations, heaping up corpses, he breaks heads over the whole wide world.

6. He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.

7. He drinks from a stream as he goes, and therefore he holds his head high.

7. He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head.
