Jehovah Gives Dominion to the King

A Psalm of David.


[1]	JEHOVAH saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
[2]	Jehovah will send 1 forth the rod 2 of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
[3]	Thy people offer 3 themselves willingly In the day of thy power, 4 in 5 holy array: Out of the womb of the morning Thou 6 hast the dew of thy youth.
[4]	Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever After the order 7 of Melchizedek.
[5]	The Lord at thy right hand Will 8 strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
[6]	He will judge among the nations, He 9 will 10 fill the places with dead bodies; He will 11 strike through the head in 12 many countries.
[7]	He will drink of the brook in the way: Therefore will he lift up the head.
