A Psalm of David.
Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Jehovah will {Or, stretch}send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion:
Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Thy people {Hebrew: are freewill-offering.}offer themselves willingly
In the day of thy {Or, army}power, in {Or, in the beauty of holiness}holy array:
Out of the womb of the morning
{Or, Thy youth are to thee as the dew}Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent:
Thou art a priest for ever
After the {Or, manner}order of Melchizedek.
The Lord at thy right hand
{Or, Hath stricken}Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
He will judge among the nations,
{Or, The places are full of &c.}He {Or, hath filled}will fill the places with dead bodies;
He {Or, Hath stricken}will strike through the head {Or, over a wide land}in many countries.
He will drink of the brook in the way:
Therefore will he lift up the head.
