1. The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right side, while I put your enemies under your control.”
2. The Lord will cause your kingdom to grow, beginning at Zion, until you rule the lands of your enemies!
3. Your people will gladly join you when you gather your army together. You will wear your special clothes and meet together early in the morning. Your young men will be all around you like dew on the ground.
4. The Lord has made a promise with an oath and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever— the kind of priest Melchizedek was.”
5. My Lord is at your right side. He will defeat the other kings when he becomes angry.
6. He will judge the nations. The ground will be covered with dead bodies. He will punish the leaders of powerful nations all around the world.
