 1  The Lord did say unto my Lord,
       Sit thou at my right hand,
    Until I make thy foes a stool,
       whereon thy feet may stand.
 2  The Lord shall out of Zion send
       the rod of thy great pow'r:
    In midst of all thine enemies
       be thou the governor.

 3  A willing people in thy day
       of pow'r shall come to thee,
    In holy beauties from morn's womb;
       thy youth like dew shall be.
 4  The Lord himself hath made an oath,
       and will repent him never,
    Of th' order of Melchizedek
       thou art a priest for ever.

 5  The glorious and mighty Lord,
       that sits at thy right hand,
    Shall, in his day of wrath, strike through
       kings that do him withstand.
 6  He shall among the heathen judge,
       he shall with bodies dead
    The places fill: o'er many lands
       he wound shall ev'ry head.

 7  The brook that runneth in the way
       with drink shall him supply;
    And, for this cause, in triumph he
       shall lift his head on high.


BIBLE PASSAGE:

1 ¶ The 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 strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 ¶ The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
