{A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

The LORD sware, and will not repent, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

In the day of thy power shall thy people offer thee free-will offerings with a holy worship; the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning.

The LORD shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion; be thou ruler, even in the midst among thine enemies.

The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath.

He shall be judge among the heathen; he shall fill them with dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries.

He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up his head.
