The LORD hath said unto my Lord,
“Sit here at my right hand
Until I make your enemies
Your footstool, as I planned.”
*
Your scepter doth the LORD send forth
From Zion, with His might,
That you may rule your every foe
Though they are ne’er contrite.
*
The LORD hath sworn and will not change;
His mind is settled firm.
“You are a Priest and King of Peace
Whose office brooks no term.”
*
The Lord is at your right hand now;
He shatters kings in wrath.
His judgment on the nations is
To pay their debts in death.
*
But Christ hath bought our only hope–
Atoning sacrifice!
He offered up Himself for us;
His blood hath paid the price.
