Psalm 110:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 The Lord will give you great authority,
    as you rule from Zion.[a]
You will rule over all your enemies
    that are round you.
3 When you go to fight your enemies,
    your people will be happy to fight beside you.
As the sun rises on the day of battle,
    your young men will be there,
    on the hills round Zion.[b]
4 The Lord has made a strong promise.
    He will not change it.
He has promised, ‘You will be a priest for ever,
    in the same way that Melchizedek was my priest.’[c]

Footnotes

  1. 110:2 Zion is God's special place where he rules. On earth, it was part of Jerusalem where they built the temple. But heaven is also God's special home, where he rules the world.
  2. 110:3 This verse is difficult to understand in the Hebrew language.
  3. 110:4 Melchizedek was both a king and a priest, like Jesus. See Genesis 14:18-20. Later, the Israelite priests had to be Levites, so they were not the right family to be kings. Jesus was not a Levite, but he was a priest like Melchizedek.
