When the Lord extends your mighty scepter from Zion,
    rule in the midst of your enemies.
Your soldiers[a] are willing volunteers on your day of battle;
    in majestic holiness, from the womb,

The Lord took an oath and will never recant:
    “You are a priest forever,
        after the manner of Melchizedek.”
