English translation (JPS 1917)
- A Psalm of David. The LORD saith unto my lord: ‘Sit thou at My right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'
- The rod of Thy strength the LORD will send out of Zion: 'Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.'
- Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy warfare; In adornments of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, Thine is the dew of thy youth.
- The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent: 'Thou art a priest for ever After the manner of Melchizedek.'
- The Lord at thy right hand Doth crush kings in the day of His wrath.
- He will judge among the nations; He filleth it with the dead bodies, He crusheth the head over a wide land.
- He will drink of the brook in the way; Therefore will he lift up the head.
