Psalms 110:1-4

11Here is the Lord’s proclamation to my lord: “Sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool!”

2The Lord extends your dominion from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies!

3Your people willingly follow you when you go into battle. On the holy hills at sunrise the dew of your youth belongs to you.

4The Lord makes this promise on oath and will not revoke it: “You are an eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek.”
