Psalm 110: 1-7, Hebrews 1: 13, 2: 5-9
- The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make
your enemies a footstool for your feet."
- The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in
the midst of your enemies.
- Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy
majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your
youth.
- The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a
priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
- The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of
his wrath.
- He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the
rulers of the whole earth.
- He will drink from a brook beside the way; therefore he will lift up
his head.
- To which of the angels did God ever say, "Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"[
- It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about
which we are speaking.
- But there is a place where someone has testified: "What is man
that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
- You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with
glory and honor
- and put everything under his feet? In putting everything under him,
God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not
see everything subject to him.
- But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now
crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the
grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
