Psalms 110

God's great King will rule from Zion #110:1 This is a royal psalm. It tells us what God promised to the great king that he has chosen to rule the world.

1The Lord God said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right side until I win against your enemies. Then you will be able to put your feet on them.’

2The Lord will give you great authority, as you rule from Zion. You will rule over all your enemies that are round you.

3When you go to fight your enemies, your people will be happy to fight beside you. As the sun rises on the day of battle, your young men will be there, on the hills round Zion.

4The Lord has made a strong promise. He will not change it. He has promised, ‘You will be a priest for ever, in the same way that Melchizedek was my priest.’

5The Lord is standing at your right side. When he becomes angry, he will knock down kings!

6He will punish the nations, so that dead bodies cover the ground. He will destroy kings everywhere on the earth.

7He will drink from a stream at the side of the road. With new strength, he will lift up his head.
