You Are a Priest Forever

Of David. A Psalm.

1Yahweh says to my Lord:

“Sit at My right hand

Until I put Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”

2Yahweh will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,

“Have dominion in the midst of Your enemies.”

3Your people [†]will offer themselves freely in the day of Your [†]power;

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

The dew of Your youthfulness will be Yours.

4Yahweh has sworn and will not [†]change His mind,

“You are a priest forever

According to the order of Melchizedek.”

5The Lord is at Your right hand;

He [†]will crush kings in the day of His anger.

6He will render justice among the nations,

He [†]will fill them with corpses,

He [†]will crush the [†]head that is over the wide earth.

7He will drink from the brook by the wayside;

Therefore He will lift up His head.
