² The Lord will make your royal authority spread out from Zion to other lands.
    He says, “Rule over your enemies who are all around you.”
³ Your troops will be willing to fight for you
    on the day of battle.
Your young men will be wrapped in holy majesty.
    They will come to you like the fresh dew that falls early in the morning.

⁴ The Lord has made a promise.
    He will not change his mind.
He has said, “You are a priest forever,
    just like Melchizedek.”
