Psalms 110 (EHV)



See series: Through My Bible

¹ The decree of the Lord to my lord: ^[1]

“Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies

    a footstool under your feet.”

² The Lord will stretch out your strong scepter from Zion.

Rule in the midst of your enemies.

³ Your people will be willing on the day of your power.

In majesty of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,

    the dew of your youth will be yours. ^[2]

⁴ The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind:

“You are a priest forever, in the manner of Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand.

He will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

⁶ He will judge the nations.

He will fill valleys with corpses. ^[3]

He will crush heads over the wide world. <sup>[4]

7</sup> He will drink from a stream beside the way;

therefore, he will lift up his head.

Footnotes

1. Psalm 110:1 The second lord in verse 1 is not one of the divine names that are usually rendered Lord or Lord. It is the common noun for lord. It does refer to Christ but as a description, not a title.


2. Psalm 110:3 Verse 3 is cryptic. The translation is quite literal.


3. Psalm 110:6 The translation combines the Hebrew and Greek variants.


4. Psalm 110:6 Or crush the head of the wide world
