Psalm 110
1599 Geneva Bible
110 1 David prophesieth of the power and everlasting kingdom given to Christ, 4 and of his Priesthood, which should put an end to the Priesthood of Levi.
A Psalm of David.
1 The [a]Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of [b]Zion: be thou ruler in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall come willingly at the time of assembling [c]thine army in holy beauty: the youth of thy womb shall be as the morning dew.
4 The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest forever, after the order of [d]Melchizedek.
5 The Lord that is at thy right hand, shall wound kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall be judge among the heathen: he shall fill all with dead bodies, and smite the [e]head over great countries.
7 He shall [f]drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up his head.
