1A psalm of David. The Lord says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control."
2The Lord will make your royal authority spread out from Zion to other lands. You will rule over your enemies who are all around you.
3Your troops will be willing to fight for you on the day of battle. You will be wrapped in holy majesty. Just as the dew falls fresh early in the morning, you will always be young and strong.
4The Lord has taken an oath and made a promise. He will not change his mind. He has said, "You are a priest forever, just like Melchizedek."
5The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings on the day when he is angry.
6He will judge the nations. He will pile up dead bodies on the field of battle. He will crush the rulers of the whole earth.
7He will drink from a brook along the way and receive new strength. And so he will win the battle.
