The Lord will send the scepter of Your strength from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”^(A)

Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the day of Your power;
In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
Your young men are to You as the dew.

“^[a]You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”^(B)

Psalm 110:4 In rabbinic legend, Shem (the son of Noah) was Melchizedek, and God had planned to make him the first high priest. But when he blessed Abraham without first blessing God (Gen 14:18f), God gave the priesthood to Abraham instead.
