1. Psalm 110
   The Lord’s Decree to My Lord
   By David. A psalm.

   (The First Decree of the Lord)
   1 The decree of the Lord to my lord:[a]
   “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies
   a footstool under your feet.”

   (Description of King Messiah’s Rule)
   2 The Lord will stretch out your strong scepter from Zion.
   Rule in the midst of your enemies.
   3 Your people will be willing on the day of your power.
   In majesty of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
   the dew of your youth will be yours.[b]

   (The Second Decree of the Lord)
   4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind:
   “You are a priest forever, in the manner of Melchizedek.”

   (Description of King Messiah’s Rule)
   5 The Lord is at your right hand.
   He will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
   6 He will judge the nations.
   He will fill valleys with corpses.[c]
   He will crush heads over the wide world.[d]
   7 He will drink from a stream beside the way;
   therefore, he will lift up his head.

   Footnotes:
   a. Psalm 110:1 The second lord in verse 1 is not one of the divine names that are usually rendered Lord or Lord. It is the common noun for lord. It does refer to Christ but as a description, not a title.
   b. Psalm 110:3 Verse 3 is cryptic. The translation is quite literal.
   c. Psalm 110:6 The translation combines the Hebrew and Greek variants.
   d. Psalm 110:6 Or crush the head of the wide world
