¹A Psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

¹Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

²The Lord shall send out a rod of power for thee out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

²For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

³With thee is dominion in the day of thy power, in the splendours of thy saints: I have begotten thee from the womb before the morning.

³They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

⁴The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.

⁴For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

⁵The Lord at thy right hand has dashed in pieces kings in the day of his wrath.

⁵And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁶He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill up [the number of] corpses, he shall crush the heads of many on the earth.

⁶Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

⁷He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head.

⁷When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
