| 3Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours. | 3When you go to war, your people will serve you willingly. You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew. |
| 4The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” | 4The LORD has taken an oath and will not break his vow: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” |
| 5The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. | 5The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you. He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts. |
| 6He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth. | 6He will punish the nations and fill their lands with corpses; he will shatter heads over the whole earth. |
| 7He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. | 7But he himself will be refreshed from brooks along the way. He will be victorious. |
