Psalm 110 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

The Lord Gives Victory

(A psalm by David.)

¹ The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right side, until I make your enemies into a footstool for you.”

² The Lord will let your power reach out from Zion, and you will rule over your enemies.

³ Your glorious power will be seen on the day you begin to rule. You will wear the sacred robes and shine like the morning sun in all of your strength.

⁴ The Lord has made a promise that will never be broken: “You will be a priest forever, just like Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your right side, and when he gets angry he will crush the other kings.

⁶ He will judge the nations and crack their skulls, leaving piles of dead bodies all over the earth.

⁷ He will drink from any stream that he chooses, while winning victory after victory.
