Psalm 110 -- the most quoted psalm in the New Testament*

1.Jehovah to my Lord has said, "Sit down at my right hand
   until I make your foes a stool whereon your feet may stand."
2 Jehovah shall from Zion send the scepter of your power.
   In battle with your enemies O be the conqueror.

3 A willing People in your day of power shall come to you.
   Your youth arrayed in holiness shall be like morning dew.
4 Jehovah swore, and from his oath he never will depart:
   "Of th'order of Melchizedek a priest you ever are.

5 The Lord at your right hand shall smite earth's rulers in his wrath.
6 Among the nations he shall judge; the slain shall fill his path.
   In many lands he'll overthrow their kings with ruin dread;
7 and marching, he'll drink from the brook and so lift up his head.
