The fifth book of Psalms, song 110, New English Translation and King James Version

Psalm 110

New English Translation

A psalm of David.

   1 Here is the LORD's proclamation to my LORD: "Sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool!"
   2 The LORD extends your dominion from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies!
   3 Your people willingly follow you when you go into battle. On the holy hills at sunrise the dew of your youth belongs to you.
   4 The LORD makes this promise on oath and will not revoke it: "You are an eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek."
   5 O sovereign LORD, at your right hand he strikes down kings in the day he unleashes his anger.
   6 He executes judgment against the nations; he fills the valleys with corpses; he shatters their heads over the vast battlefield.
   7 From the stream along the road he drinks; then he lifts up his head.

King James Version

A Psalm of David.

   1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
   2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
   3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
   4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
   5 The Lord at thy 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.
