| 3Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning's womb. | 3Your soldiers are willing volunteers on your day of battle; in majestic holiness, from the womb, from the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you. |
| 4The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." | 4The LORD took an oath and will never recant: "You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek." |
| 5The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. | 5The Lord is at your right hand; he will utterly destroy kings in the time of his wrath. |
| 6He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. | 6He will execute judgment against the nations, filling graves with corpses. He will utterly destroy leaders far and wide. |
| 7He will drink from a brook along the way, and so he will lift his head high. | 7He will drink from a stream on the way, then hold his head high. |
