3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning [shall come] to thee the dew of thy youth. 4Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek. The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger. 6He shall judge among the nations; he shall fill [all places] with dead bodies; he shall smite through the head over a great country. 7He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head.
