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.”(A)

The Lord is at Your right hand,
He [b]will crush kings in the day of His wrath.
