Psalm 113 The Lord said to my lord, * ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.’ The Lord commits to you the sceptre of your power * reign from Zion in the midst of your enemies. Noble are you, from the day of your birth upon the holy hill; * radiant are you, even from the womb, in the morning dew of your youth. The Lord has sworn and will not turn back: * ‘You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’ The king shall stand at your right hand, O Lord; * and shatter kings in the day of his wrath. Glorious in majesty, he shall judge among the nations, * and shatter heads over a wide land. He shall slake his thirst from the brook beside the way; * therefore shall he lift up his head.
