110Psalm 110
1making them a footstool under your feet.”
2The LORD will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem*;you will rule over your enemies.
3When you go fo war,your people will serve you willingly.You are arrayed in holy garments,and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.
5The LORD stands at your right hand to protect you.He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.
6He will punish the nationsand fill their lands with corpses;he will shatter heads over the whole earth.
7But he himself will be refreshed from brooks along the way.He will be victorious.Theme: All that God does is good. Reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom.
