Villigt kommer ditt folk
110:1 En psalm av David.
Herren sade till min Herre:
”Sätt dig på min högra sida,
till dess att jag har lagt dina fiender
som en fotapall under dina fötter.”
2 Din makts spira skall Herren sträcka ut från Sion,
du skall härska mitt ibland dina fiender.
3 Villigt kommer ditt folk när du samlar din här,
i helig skrud kommer din unga skara inför dig,
som daggen kommer ur morgonrodnadens sköte.
PSALM 110
A Psalm of David
The LORD said unto my Lord,
Sit thou at my right hand,
Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The LORD shall send
The rod of thy strength out of Zion.
Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power,
In the beauties of holiness
From the womb of the morning:
Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
1. “The Lord said unto my Lord”—Jehovah said unto my Adonai: David in spirit heard the solemn voice of Jehovah speaking to the Messiah from of old. What wonderful intercourse there has been between the Father and the Son! From this secret and intimate communion spring the covenant of grace and all its marvellous arrangements. All the great acts of grace are brought into actual being by the word of God; had he not spoken, there had been no manifestation of Deity to us; but in the beginning was the Word, and from of old there was mysterious fellowship between the Father and his Son Jesus Christ concerning his people and the great contest on their behalf between himself and the powers of evil. How condescending on Jehovah’s part to permit a mortal ear to hear, and a human pen to record his secret converse with his co-equal Son! How greatly should we prize the revelation of his private and solemn discourse with the Son, herein made public for the refreshing of his people! Lord, what is man that thou shouldst thus impart thy secrets unto him!
