- The Lord did say unto my Lord,
- sit thou on my right hand,
- ‘til I have made thy foes a stone,
- whereon thy feet shall stand.
-
- 2 The Lord shall out of Zion send
- the Scepter of thy might.
- Amid thy mortal foes be thou
- the ruler in their sight.
-
- 3 And in the day on which thy reign
- and power they shall see:
- Then hereby free-will offerings shall
- the people offer thee.
- Yea, with an holy worshipping,
- then shall they offer all:
- Thy birth due is the dew that doth
- from womb of morning fall.
-
- 4 The Lord hath sworn, and never will
- repent what he doth say:
- By th’order of Melchizedek
- thou art a Priest for aye.
-
- 5 The Lord thy God, on thy right hand
- that standeth for thy stay:
- Shall wound for thee the stately Kings
- upon his wrathful day.
-
- 6 The heathen he shall judge, and fill
- the place with bodies dead:
- And over diverse countries shall
- in sunder smite the head.
-
- 7 And he shall drink out of the brook
- that runneth in the way:
- Therefore he shall lift up on high
- his royal head that day.
