² The Lord sends forth from Zion
    your mighty scepter.
    Rule in the midst of your foes!
³ Your people will offer themselves freely
    on the day you lead your host
    upon the holy mountains.^[a]
From the womb of the morning
    like dew your youth^[b] will come to you.
⁴ The Lord has sworn
    and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest for ever
    after the order of Melchiz′edek.”
