PSALM 110

The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 The LORD sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3 Your people will offer themselves freely
on the day of your power, in holy garments;
from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours.
4 The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses;
he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore, he will lift up his head.
– Psalm 110:1-7

PSALM 110 A PRIEST FOREVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK
A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
When the Lord chooses you, he blesses you with much power
Though you are surrounded by enemies, do not fear, they will cower
The Lord has vowed to take care of his people, he won’t change his mind
He is steadfast in his love and faithful to defend all those who love him.
Just as his begotten Son sits at his right hand and a priest forever
He grants the same anointing to all who believes and is faithful to him
Be bold to rule in the midst of your enemies and all their plot to attack
You have been given authority to shatter as the Lord pours his wrath.
Even though it seems that the rulers of this world have power
If they do not bow down to the Lord of lords, they won’t be victors
Abide in the Lord Jesus, he is the only way that you can overcome
He died for us so we can be priests forever after the order of Melchizedek.
