Context of Psalms 110:5
3Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the day of Your power; In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, Your young men are to You as the dew. 4The Lord has sworn [an oath] and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” The Lord is at Your right hand, He will crush kings in the day of His wrath. 6He will execute judgment [in overwhelming punishment] among the nations; He will fill them with corpses, He will crush the chief men over a broad country. 7He will drink from the brook by the wayside; Therefore He will lift up His head [triumphantly].
