The Lord shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: reign in the midst of your enemies. Yours is the foundation in the day of your power: in the splendor of holiness, from out of the womb, before the morning star I have borne you. The Lord has sworn and will not repent: you are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at your right hand has destroyed kings in the day of his wrath. He will judge the nations, he will fill them with ruins: he will shatter heads in the populous land. From the torrent on the way shall he drink: therefore he will hold his head high. Glory be to the Father… Philip H. Davis, audio Evan Chapman and Kevin Eikenberg of Four/Ten Media, video
