You have the dew of Your youth.

And ^awill not relent,
“You are a ^bpriest forever
According to the order of ^cMelchizedek.”

5 The Lord is ^aat Your right hand;
He shall¹ execute kings ^bin the day of His wrath.

6 He shall¹ judge among the nations,
He shall fill the places with dead bodies,
^aHe shall execute the heads of many countries.

7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;
^aTherefore He shall lift up the head.

out of Zion—or, the Church, in which God dwells by His Spirit, as once by a visible symbol in the tabernacle on Zion (compare Psalms 2:6).

rule thou, etc.—over enemies now conquered.

in the midst—once set upon, as by ferocious beasts (Psalms 22:16), now humbly, though reluctantly, confessed as Lord (Philippians 2:10-11).
