Context of Psalms 110:5
3Your people will be a freewill offering in a day of your power. In holy splendors, from dawn’s womb, yours is the dew of your youth. 4Adonai has sworn, and will not change His mind: “You are a Kohen forever according to the order of Melechizedek .” My Lord is at your right hand. He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath. 6He will judge among the nations, heaping up corpses. He will crush heads over the entire land. 7He will drink from a stream along the way —so His head will be exalted.
