1  ^qThe Lord says to my Lord:

^r“Sit at my right hand,

^suntil I make your enemies your ^tfootstool.”

2  The Lord sends forth ^ufrom Zion

^vyour mighty scepter.

^wRule in the midst of your enemies!

3  ^xYour people will ^yoffer themselves freely

on the day of your ^zpower,¹

in ^aholy garments;²

from the womb of the morning,

the dew of your youth will be yours.³

4  ^bThe Lord has ^csworn

and will ^dnot change his mind,

^e“You are ^fa priest ^gforever

after the order of ^hMelchizedek.”

5  The Lord is at your ⁱright hand;

he will ^jshatter kings on ^kthe day of his wrath.

6  He will ^lexecute judgment among the nations,

^mfilling them with corpses;

he will ⁿshatter chiefs⁴

over the wide earth.

7  He will ^odrink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.

1  Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor,

all ^ythe hardships he endured,

2  how he swore to the Lord

and ^zvowed to ^athe Mighty One of Jacob,

3  “I will not enter my house

or get into my bed,

4  I will not ^bgive sleep to my eyes

or slumber to my eyelids,

5  until I ^cfind a place for the Lord,

a dwelling place for ^athe Mighty One of Jacob.”

6  Behold, we heard of it in ^dEphrathah;

we found it in ^ethe fields of Jaar.

7  “Let us go to his dwelling place;

let us ^fworship at his ^gfootstool!”

8  ^hArise, O Lord, and go to your ⁱresting place,

you and the ark of your ^jmight.

9  Let your ^kpriests be ^lclothed with righteousness,

and let your ^msaints shout for joy.

10  For the sake of your servant David,

ⁿdo not turn away the face of ^oyour anointed one.

11  ^pThe Lord swore to David a sure oath

^qfrom which he will not turn back:

^r“One of the sons of your body¹

I will set on your throne.

12  If your sons keep my covenant

and my testimonies that I shall teach them,

their sons also forever

shall ^ssit on your throne.”

13  For the Lord has ^tchosen Zion;

he has ^udesired it for his dwelling place:

14  “This is my ^vresting place forever;

here I will ^wdwell, for I have desired it.

15  I will abundantly ^xbless her provisions;

I will ^ysatisfy her poor with bread.

16  Her ^zpriests I will clothe with salvation,

and her ^zsaints will shout for joy.

17  There I will make ^aa horn to sprout for David;

I have prepared ^ba lamp for ^cmy anointed.

18  His enemies I will ^dclothe with shame,

but on him his crown will shine.”
