Adonai will send your powerful scepter
out from Tziyon,
so that you will rule over
your enemies around you.
On the day your forces mobilize,
your people willingly offer themselves
in holy splendors from the womb of the dawn;
the dew of your youth is yours.

and he will never retract —
“You are a cohen forever,
to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.”
