Psalm 110. Dixit Dominus.

1. The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, *
   until I make your enemies your footstool."
2. The Lord will send the scepter of your power out of Zion, *
   saying, "Rule over your enemies round about you.
3. Princely state has been yours from the day of your birth; *
   in the beauty of holiness have I begotten you, like dew from the womb of the morning."
4. The Lord has sworn and he will not recant: *
   "You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."
5. The Lord who is at your right hand will smite kings in the day of his wrath; *
   he will rule over the nations.
6. He will heap high the corpses; *
   he will smash heads over the wide earth.
7. He will drink from the brook beside the road; *
   therefore he will lift high his head.
