Psalms

Chapter 110

The Lord's Anointed Priest-King

The Lord says to David's Lord: Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool. God will extend Your scepter from Zion. You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. This is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament, applied by Christ to Himself and by the epistle to the Hebrews to Christ's eternal priesthood.

¹The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

²The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

³Thy 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.

⁴The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

⁵The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

⁷He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
